Hi sorry about the spelling.

It was Britain's worst railway disaster over 200 killed.

Two signalmen were blamed and served prison sentences. However,in local sources there were suggestions that there may be more to this and driver error may have also been a factor.

Both signalmen were re-employed by the Caledonian railway after they left prison which gave rise to speculation that they may not have been entirely reponsible.
