when things go wrong...

Post by hq1hitchin »

Here's a clip from an old documentary on Network Southeast and here we have the inquest into a possession overrun at Charing X, which caused much grief on the Monday morning. Note the manager top left on the screen, none other that Stewart Palmer, now MD of South West Trains. A very experienced railwayman.

A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!

loved the first networker vid too. Ah you tube turns up some crackers. I wonder if there is any film of the first 375 in service.
don't forget about the Great Eastern Railway
