Morpeth Rail doodab

[edit]

I'd advise adding a section to Talk:Morpeth rail crash, much as per you wrote on my talk page: I remember the 84 crash very well - the impact (our house seemed to jump a foot in the air), the scene - turf inside the carriages, letting people out who couldn't reach the doors (some carriages were on their sides so doors were above them and out of reach) burglar alarm on the demolished house going off (a fireman finally smashed it with a sledgehammer), the aftermath - BR brought steam cranes along to lift carriages and repair track. Various people whose houses backed onto the line had (presumably ilicitly) put gates in their fences and used the embankment to grow vegetables, so they let neighbours in to watch repairs. Atmosphere was like a street party. Only injury I heard of was to a sleeping car attendant who tried to crawl out and got stuck. Testament to strength of carriages.

And then of course there is the Morpeth page, which quite probably neds attention, and then there'd be category:Northumberland which'l list all articles that exist & need improvement, and, better, you can infer all that don't and add them. You could be here for some time :) But feel free to dig into the Morpeth rail crash article and alter anything you think needs altering. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Ah yes. Dear old modulo linear transformation. --Tagishsimon (talk)
