Very interesting episode Dan. It’s one I’d heard of before but didn’t know all that much about. The violence of the crash and the damage to the stock was truly shocking and in a way it’s surprising that there weren’t more fatalities and injuries.

Dan, I know the schedule is not set in stone, but am I right in thinking the next episode is running a little late ?
Hi Malc,
It is a little, been trying to keep up but I've just finished my last proper week in my current job and I'm getting married in 4 and a half weeks so time has been very tight of late. Time booked off work for the next week and a half though so hoping (but not promising) to get two out before the 28th.
Sorry about that!
Very much appreciated!Well I’m sure all of us would like to wish you congratulations sir.

No need to apologise, we're just so hooked on the series you've produced.
Congratulation on your forthcoming wedding... just a word of advice.... editing the podcast on you wedding night to meet the deadline won't go down too well with the wife
All the best Dan, and hope the big day goes well for you both
I think if the laptop makes it to the venue I might not make it to the reception!No need to apologise, we're just so hooked on the series you've produced.

I'm guessing you didn't manage to smuggle the laptop into the honeymoon suit
So looking forward to the next episode...
Hope you are enjoying wedded life...but still find time to continue with these excellent podcasts

Hi Malc,
I did not, and I do thank people for their patience! After the frantic last few weeks, Saturday went spectacularly and I'm a very happy man!
Lucky for everyone though, that happiness will include podcasting, so I'm raring to go with the next episode, and I'm hoping to pick up again with a big one!

Lovely photo, congratulations!
Meantime I’ve been listening to the ‘back catalogue’, while you get a well deserved break.

Ah great,
Break is over now though, I've got the next episode on the move now, and I've also decided to use the break to call this season 2!

You’ve probably got a massive intray, Dan, and you likely already have this, but it would be great to have an episode on Colwich, 1986.

One I would like to see your take on is the 1940 Norton Fitzwarren crash.
I nearly suggested that one too. It’s a very interesting accident.
I don't know if I'd do Norton, for the sole reason that another podcaster did an amazing job on it last year. And although he had to delete his podcast, I did manage to find a version of it still live here Steel Wheels- I really would go and look at it, well, listen.
But, in other news...

All I can say is that it was worth the wait..... at almost an hour and a half (for me I like this new format) it felt unrushed and covered this instance well
Loved it.
Loved it.

Thank you, I found this interesting. It has always struck me as a bit odd that the 2 signalmen were re employed by the railway on their release from prison. One thing I wondered about, is there still a version of rule 55 on the books today?
