 Clapham Junction rail crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clapham Junction rail crash was a serious railway accident involving two collisions between three commuter trains at 0810 on the morning of December 12, 1988.
The collisions occurred 800 m (half a mile) southwest of Clapham Junction railway station in southwest London.
The larger cause of the accident was the failure by British Rail senior management to recognise that the resignalling of the Clapham Junction area – and indeed the resignalling of all the lines out of Waterloo, of which this was a part – should have been treated as a major, safety-critical project.
