Talk:1906 Salisbury rail crash

Accuracy
Several of the points in this article are not borne out by Major Pringle's report, which is the only primary factual information we have.

Also it distorts the article to say upfront "A and B were claimed, but these claims were not supported by factual evidence".

I'll try to modify the article shortly. Afterbrunel (talk) 20:34, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Salisbury rail crash → 1906 Salisbury rail crash – There are now two articles on rail crashes near Salisbury: this one and the 2021 one. So better to add the year to the 1906 article, and make Salisbury rail crash into a DAB page, as neither looks like it'll be a clear primary topic in the long run.

 * Support although the 1906 one was worse it seems likely in the near future the 2021 one will be more likely for readers.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 09:28, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support apart from the two UK accidents, there are other Salisburys around the world, any of which could have rail accidents capable of sustaining articles. Mjroots (talk) 12:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Citations needed
I see only one citation on this page. It clearly needs more. I'm putting up the necessary template. 174.0.253.201 (talk) 01:48, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

The three derailments
[T]he cause in each case was recorded as Driver Error but there has been much speculation since.
