Hi, I have just noticed this post...
... yes it was 50 years ago, last July at Singleton Bank. 116 people were injured and sadly 7 fatalities. My family and I were on the train that day and luckily survived.

I think my mother complained to the local paper that the anniversary should have been remembered.
