Scope and content
Eight people had miraculous escapes from death when a 120-ton diesel train crashed through station buffers and a stone wall to plough across a road and a through a row of terraced houses at 35-40 m.p.h. near Oldham, Lacashire recently. Driver Harry Pearse sounded his horn for a quarter of a mile as the train hurtled out of control down a gradient into Royton Station. Then, 30 yards from the buffers, he flung himself on to the station platform. Five people including three women who had been asleep in the houses were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
