I think it would have been extremely difficult for any passenger to stage a rail accident of that magnitude. However, I have been delving further and it is the short prison terms and the re-instatement by the Caledonian Railway that has given rise to local suspicion of perhaps some company liability - such as in the Manor House accident in 1892. These men were working 12 hour shifts on the west coast mainline in wartime. any personal or work related problems could have caused this - but as there was little public interest in wartime perhaps this was conveniently covered up.
