What a shame it didn't roll on it's side with the carriages being stripped of their wheels, and piling up one atop the other with a terrific boiler explosion, flying metal and splintered sleepers and track gravel going every which way, then the whole pile-up bursting into flames. Crikey, It was like some bird pulling her knickers down to give it a go, and then she says, "I'll be off then" and leaves you there at full mast !
I remember going to school at logmoor army camp eating wild blueberry's on the way home, the school was a big tin shed with 4 classes in it with 1 teacher with a big burner in the middle of it.down the road was an sweet shop where I saw my 1st Fluorescent Tube with a paper cones made with sheet of paper to hold the sweets, ooohh happy days even there was rationing still on.
really great footage, the engine didn't really get too damaged they could have just put her back on the rails, she just didn't want to die did she, absolutely amazing
@relaxingfoot Unfortunately, the spelling of Longmoor in the opening caption was an over-sight on our part. The opening captions have been re-written and will be uploaded to our YouTube Channel in due course.
And I thought that overly sensationalist buzz words were the preserve of ITN in 2011. Who'd have thought that Auntie was at it back in 1956! Terrifying!!!

I've caused more damage by flushing the toilet on a train while in a station!

I remember watching the live broadcast at the time and how disappointed I was at the result.

@Duncanish41 After all the dramatic build-up, the end result is rather disappointing, but that's live television for you!

A marvellous piece of television but a pity that Longmoor is spelled incorrectly in the opening caption.
