The disaster was one of the worst rail crashes of the last century and resulted in 31 people dying and 417 being injured. One of the trains had passed a signal set at danger. It was a watershed moment for rail safety, and the consequences are still felt today. #bbclondon #london #ladbrokegrove #paddington #trains | BBC London | Facebook
