High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! There have been three major rail accidents near Winsford in Cheshire:On 17 April 1948, 24 people died when the 17:40 Glasgow to London Euston train was stopped after the communication cord was pulled by a passenger (a soldier on leave who presumably lived near Winsford and was seen to leave the train after it had stopped). The stopped train was then run into by a following postal express hauled by LMS Coronation Class 4-6-2 No 6251 City of Nottingham. The collision happened at between 40 and 45 mph and was so severe that only five of the ten passenger coaches could be pulled away on their wheels and only the rear eight of the 13 Postal coaches could be drawn back. 24 passengers were killed. The signalman at Winsford station had, in error, reported the passenger train clear of the section and accepted the postal train.
