Accidents are shocks to any system, and the railways are no exception. Though Britain's rail network is now among the world's safest, its reliability has been developed often in response to particular accidents that demonstrated problems or vulnerabilities, wrought by generations of experiment and occasional tragedy. Early incidents like the felling of William Huskisson MP by Stephenson's Rocket in 1830 led to improvements in signalling and braking methods, and over the years rolling stock, track design and train protection systems have all improved as accident led to action. Greg Morse charts these developments through the events that spurred them on, including the Armagh collision (1889), the Harrow & Wealdstone collision (1952) and the derailment at Hither Green (1967). Ending with the Clapham Junction tragedy of 1988, it is a story both of tragedy and of our capacity to learn from our mistakes.
