  • Summary

  • The UK's rail network is one of the safest in the world, but this is a reputation that has been hard-won through a dark history of death and destruction. Each of these accidents has helped to prevent another in the future. Signals to Danger is a series of Podcasts exploring and explaining the worst disasters on the UK rail network. Using reports, inquiries, news articles and first hand accounts, we will dive deep into these accidents and understand what went wrong, who was effected and how each incident went on to change the railway going forwards.

Wonderful and sobering

This podcast is wonderful it’s sound effect and background music make all the better. Dan will not disappoint however if you are easily sickened or faint of heart probably not for you there are some pretty grim scenes although Dan generally avoids the war wrecks (with the only exception being quintenshill 1915 I think) every episode has more than a few gory deaths. Either way great podcast. To all those who ride the rails Watch Look and Listen.
