Description:
Neil Oliver recounts the UK’s deadliest railway disaster, which occurred on May 22, 1915, at Quintinshill near Gretna Green. Three trains collided, one carrying soldiers destined for World War I's Battle of Gallipoli, resulting in a high number of casualties. The troop train caught fire due to gas escaping from the carriages' outdated lighting. While a signalman’s error was cited as the primary cause, Oliver investigates whether other factors contributed to the crash and whether a cover-up occurred to avoid scrutiny, with signalmen unfairly blamed.
