Talk:Coppenhall Junction railway accident

Engine involved

This article stated the engine involved as D346 but with no source to bear this out. The Inspecting Officer's report rather surprisingly does not list either the locomotives or carriages involved, although this had been standard practice for earlier accidents. J.A.B. Hamilton (1967) stated that the engine involved was D326 which shortly afterwards was involved in the Great Train Robbery, and other articles seem to have drawn on this usually reliable source. However, under British Rail Class 40 evidence is provided from The Railway Magazine that the engine involved was actually D215 Aquitania. Any additional evidence on sources (e.g. contemporary newspapers) would be welcome. Hyperman 42 (talk) 02:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
