It was a failed assassination. -- PFHLai 04:12, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

The page currenty states that:

However, the article states that five trains were involved - two stationary, and three moving. Can I suggest that the point is changed to:

☒N Not done I've been reading the article and its sources, and as far as I can tell there were four trains involved in the crash, and a fifth train (the goods train) nearby that was not involved in the crash. I think the article might be slightly misleading in this regard. Could you point me to something in the sources which would support all five trains being involved? --ais523 12:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't know much about this, tbh: I was basing my suggestion purely on the article. Having read around a little more, the H2G2 article [1] says that all five were involved in the accident - "the engine of the troop train turned over sideways and came into contact with the empty wagon service" and "As the 600 tonne express train arrived it ran through the wreckage to hit the rear part of troop train's engine, which it proceeded to push through the wagons of the 4.50 goods service". So both trains in the sidings were involved; obviously all of the express train, troup train and local train were also involved, summing to a total of 5. Whether or not H2G2 counts as a reliable reference is another matter, though. Mike Peel 16:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
checkY Done That source seems to contain the information required. I've made the change. --ais523 10:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
