The horrible tragedy of the Armagh accident which produced the Regulation of Railways Act 1889, brought about not just the Absolute Signalling Principle of one train, in one section, at any one time; but also outlawed passenger trains without self-applying continuous failsafe brakes.
Great video Danny !
Glad you enjoyed it! The bit about how the 5 foot 3 gauge came about cracks me up, only in this country eh :D
watched the series when it was originally on tv. Nice to look back on these again.
Very good documentary again Danny, it has a catchy tune too:)
They're good alright! Bit of a disgrace that Donabate wasn't mentioned though, what were they thinking of? ;D
God I know, the most important intermediate stop!
I had the privilege of meeting Oliver Doyle. A really decent fine fellow, and a very knowledgeable railwayman.
