On the episode shown tonight Mon 13th Jan Between Euston and Cheddington. There was a segment featuring the Harrow smash. Some crane working was visible. May be stock footage and some I have seen before but maybe not all. |

I saw that, but didn't recognise any of the footage as previously unseen. I thought that the subject (of the H&W triple collision) was covered reasonably well, especially bearing in mind the target audience. It is also a very long time since I last heard the epitaph to the unfortunate Thomas Port:- "Bright rose the morn and vig'rous' rose poor Port. Gay on the Train he used his wonted sport: Ere noon arrived his mangled form they bore, With pain distorted and o'erwhelmed with gore: When evening came to close the fatal day, A mutilated corpse the sufferer lay." Although I rather doubt that the second line would be written using the "G" word nowadays! |
