Railway accidents
[ edit ]
Grayrigg's 20th and 21st century history is marked by two high-profile major train crashes.
The Grayrigg derailment was a rail accident in 2007, in which a passenger was fatally injured.
On 18 May 1947, a 13-carriage London Midland & Scottish Railway service from Glasgow Central to London Euston failed to stop at the signals for Lambrigg Crossing and collided with a locomotive with 33 people injured, three seriously.[3]
On 23 February 2007, Lambrigg Crossovers (54.358507,-2.655958), south of Grayrigg was the site of the Grayrigg derailment , a fatal derailment involving a Virgin Trains West Coast service from London Euston to Glasgow Central.[4]
