Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Railways are by far the safest means of land transport. As a result, the public is deeply shocked when, as is inevitable, there is a major disaster on the rails. Such tragedies can have many causes: brakes fail; signals are disregarded; drivers are inattentive, tired - or even drunk; on level crossings drivers grow impatient waiting for the train to pass, or their vehicles are simply too slow. Derail is an unprecedented analysis of many of the most dramatic, bizarre and terrifying rail accidents of the past 150 years. In the nineteenth century, terrible crashes like those at Versailles in 1842 and Armagh in 1889 led to better safety regulations, and the phenomenon of post-traumatic shock disorder recognized the psychological impact of crashes. Above all, Derail provides some answers to the crucial questions posed in the last twelve years since the disaster at Clapham in 1988: what lessons have been learned from past disasters? What has been done, and what steps remain to be taken, to increase rail safety? And can, or indeed should, we afford even more safety measures? Sadly, all these questions became even more relevant - and more publicized - when two recent disasters in particular hit the headlines, the two horrific crashes on the approaches to Paddington, at Southall, in 1997 and Ladbroke Grove in 1999. With Derail, Nicholas Faith looks at the tense and often gruesome work carried out by rail investigators as they search for evidence in the aftermath of crashes such as these; and compares the differing approaches to rail safety by the UK, the US, Europe and Japan where incredibly there has been no high-speed rail disaster of any kind since 1965.
