On 26th July 1986 a train derailed after striking a van at an open
level crossing in a remote East Yorkshire village. The resulting
carnage killed nine people, injured 42 and left dozens of survivors
and families reeling from the shock for the rest of their lives.
Now for the first time the full story of that tragedy can be told
by the people who were there. The horror of the survivors, the
bravery of the rescuers and the heartache for the people left
behind. From one disaster came a campaign to have open crossings
banned and to make sure a disaster like Lockington will never
happen again. Richard M Jones is a researcher who has made it his
life's ambition to record forgotten disasters and events lost to
history. His achievements include writing the first book about the
Great Gale of 1871 and placing a memorial for the Lockington
victims. A serving member of the Royal Navy, he lives in
Bridlington.
