RAIL workers will tomorrow commemorate the 25th anniversary of one of Britain’s worst rail disasters.
On October 5, 1999, 31 people died and 258 were seriously injured when two passenger trains collided head-on at Ladbroke Grove two miles out of Paddington station in London.
A public inquiry into the disaster revealed flaws in the management and regulation of safety on Britain’s privatised rail network and concluded that the collision could have been avoided.
