Britains Railway Disasters
Passengers on the early railways took their lives in their hands every time they got on board a train. There seemed to be an acceptance that the level of danger was tolerable in return for the speed of travel that was now available to them.Britain's Railway Disasters looks at the most serious railway accidents from the origins of the development of the train up to the present day. It was so dangerous that they could buy an insurance policy with their ticket.
Information gleaned from various newspaper reports is compared with official reports on the accidents.The book will appeal to all those with a fascination for rail transport as well as those with a love of history.Michael Foley examines the social context of how injuries and deaths on the railways were seen in the early days, as well as how Seriousness is judged on the number of those who died.
