Wrong.

Wrong.

The accident at Guildford was on 8th November 1952 and that at Crewkerne on 24th April 1953.

Wikipedia, in its listing of rail accidents in Great Britain, gives the date of the rail accident at Crewkerne as 25th October 1952.

 

[RDP]

Typical Wikipedia. Under "List of rail accidents in the UK" it gives it as the 1952 date and under "Crewkerne Station" and "SR Merchant Navy Class" as the 1953 date.

In 1881, the Midland Railway built an extension to New Street station. It contained four through platforms and one bay, and consisted of a trainshed with a glass and steel roof comprising two trussed arches. It was designed by Francis Stevenson, the chief engineer to the LNWR, and was opened on 8 February 1885.

Another station designed by Francis Stevenson was originally known as Knott Mill and Deansgate. In 1971 it was renamed Deansgate, the name by which it is currently known.
