Extract for the LNWR railway Accident at Bolton Crook Street on 16th March 1918 "In this case a special coal train from Hulton Sidings, when approaching Bolton Terminal Station, got out of control. It was turned into one of the lines in the goods yard (Crook Street), ran through the yard on the metals, forced its way through the boundary wall, crossed the public road diagonally and completely wrecked two small dwelling-houses. The guard jumped from the brake-van; the driver and fireman remained on the footplate. None of the men suffered more than minor injuries. Eight persons living in the houses were injured, though fortunately not seriously. In addition to the damage to the engine and house property, five wagons were demolished and seven others damaged." Train Operator London & North Western Railway Primary Causes Driver error, inadequate brake power, excessive train load, guard error, site staff error Secondary Cause None Result Runaway train, derailment, collision with structure 0 fatalities, 11 injured
