Move that f*****g flag in 308

[Blue Mist]

Collision between two passenger trains at Chinley in 1958.

The 5.15 pm. express excursion train, Luton to Manchester Central, was wrongly admitted under clear signals on the Down Fast line into Chinley station where it ran into the 7.10 pm passenger train, Derby to Manchester Central, which was standing at the platform. The speed at impact was not high, about 30 to 35 m.p.h., as the excursion train had been checked on the approach to Chinley, and the driver also was able to see the train in front in time to apply the brake, but the rear coach of the stationary train was penetrated for nearly half of its length by the engine of the excursion train. Fortunately there were no passengers in the more seriously damaged part of this coach, and of the total of 6 passengers in this train and 90 in the excursion train, only 8 required treatment. All were discharged from hospital within a few days

415 scousers were also injured in that collision. Unfortunately Injury Lawyers 4 You hadn't been set up then.

Got a chuckle at seeing this thread again. Remember it at the time it happened and the stubborn refusal to move it from the end of that Mancini banner.

By the hog?

Chinley has two pubs in the Good Beer Guide just down the hill in Whitehough, both good if a bit upmarket.
That makes it OK with me.

*lol* cheeky. Must admit that, although it is quite a few years now, I used to do a lot of Sunday walking around that area. I once had a man friend (I know strange idea for EB but…) who was really in to his Real Ale and he felt that the best ones came from round that area. :-)
