In the early days, railways were not the safe and reliable mode of transportation they are today. In fact, they were quite the opposite. Accidents were frequent, and sometimes they had far more sinister causes.
Rosa Matheson delves into the dark and gruesome history of railways in her book. These chilling events include unforgettable disasters and accidents, the lack of burial grounds for London's deceased, which led to the creation of the "Necropolis Railway," the grisly necessity of digging up the dead to accommodate the railways, and how the discovery of dynamite sparked the "Dynamite Wars" on the London Underground in the 1880s and 1890s.
Join Rosa as she carefully explores the fascinating and gory history of Britain's railways, uncovering the secrets and scandals that have shaped the industry over the years.
