What chance of a plaque when this disaster has been airbrushed out of history.

Where did you get these photos from?

I've got a few Daily Mirror newspapers about this event. Two editions from 1st March 1975. What was the cause of this crash, anyone know?

@bismuthcadmium - Good point. Another possibility (IMHO) is a Transient Ishaemic Attack (T.I.A).

Thank you: the firemen; coppers; London Transport staff, investigators & engineers; cutters & mechanics & labourers; doctors, nurses & staff of Barts & The London; the magnificent LAS; the WRVS & Sally Army; the locals who supplied workers free of charge, opened their premises & cared for the walking wounded; the public who gave blood; the BBC & ITN whose reporters worked with the services & made available their phones & telex etc.
Londoners will not forgot your bravery & service

@Stephenkirkby - 1938 stock does have E-P brakes, and if you read the official report it states that both the Westinghouse and Electro-Pneumatic brakes were functioning correctly and in good order. The guard was looking for a newspaper in the rear cab. People should really do their homework before posting comments. R.I.P to all who lost their lives

very moving i have just read anatomy of a train crash moorgate the driver had been at dunkirk and they suggest he may have sufferd a flash back but also when he was a gaurd he was hit on the head by a passenger some months before passengers report and pathologist he did not put his hands up he still had them on controles and was motionless going into platform
There is a clock together with a plaque at Kings Cross, a plaque at each of the 2005bombing sites, and yet nothing at Moorgate. Why?? Do the people that perished in this horrific tragedy not matter?! It is a disgrace.
