The earliest recorded railway fatality, which involved a steam locomotive and an unnamed woman, occurred on the Stockton & Darlington Railway on March 5, 1827.
The UK’s worst rail accident was at Quintinshill, in Scotland in 1915 with 226 dead and 246 injured. England recorded its worst disaster in 1952 with the Harrow and Wealdstone crash which killed 112 people and injured 340. Yorkshire has seen some terrible railway accidents particularly on the main London to Scotland lines passing through the county. On Thursday January 19, 1905, J. Mathieson, General Manager of the Midland Railway made a statement after a crash on the company’s system.
Subsequently, new speed restrictions were placed on wagons. Work to clear the track continued through the night. For a time, northbound trains from York were diverted via Ripon and were subject to delays of around 45 minutes. A 48-year-old woman, Isabella Mary Smart Reid of Kirkella, who was both a doctor and a Hull magistrate was one of the seven people killed.
