Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But there was an interesting programme on UKTV Documentary last night about Southall.

I gave details about the crash not shown on TV before, eg how some people died, and how one of the MK3 coaches managed to be bent into a U shape.

Overall though, to think only 9 people died as a result of a 90MPH accident. Would this happen in a 60MPH RTA involving a 1970's coach??? No way. Just shows that BR knew about crash absorbtion when they deigned the Mk3 Coach.
