Worst casualties in Modern Railway History? It was only a rail derailment with no one killed!

Well it’s up there in this decade. Referencing was mainly aimed at what shouldn’t go wrong, did go wrong... wasn’t at all relating to loss of human life.
Mustn’t forget had it been a railtour, the consequences could’ve been far worse and the fire could also potentially have spread and put lives at risk. With modern day track circuit systems this should never of happened in the first place!

As of tomorrow (Grand National Special) WCRC will be supplying traction for the Northern Belle. Some surplus 57/3s could be on their way from DRS in the not too distant future.

It was only a matter of time after they bought Belmond.

Wouldn’t call it an addition of work as they’ve lost the Statesman as a result!

57601 is now in Northern Belle livery
