Harrow & Wealdstone disaster

A sobering memorial to remind people of Britain's second worst railway disaster. Only beaten by Quintinshill in 1915 when the death toll was twice as bad. Both involved a high speed collision, followed shortly after by another train going the other way ploughing into the wreckage.

Harrow was down to driver error, Quintinshill was signalman error.
