#RailNatter Episode 166: Two half-forgotten but important railway crashes from the 1980s

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

This week we are looking at two rail crashes, one at Pitlochry in Scotland and another at Pershore in Worcestershire, that took place in the 1980s. Thankfully, neither involved serious injuries, but both incidents can teach us a few things, despite having been mostly forgotten... Including the unforeseen side-effects of introducing new bits into dynamic engineering systems like railways. Enjoyed this?
