Info
The Nuneaton rail crash was a train crash that occurred on 6 June 1975, on the West Coast Main Line just south of Nuneaton railway station in Warwickshire, England.
It happened when the 23:30 sleeper from London Euston to Glasgow was derailed after entering a temporary speed restriction at too high a speed. Six people (four passengers and two staff) died and 38 were injured. In the subsequent inquiry, the accident was deemed to have been caused by driver error, partially due to the failure of lineside equipment warning of the speed restriction.
