David Carter will examine the events surrounding the notorious multi-train rail crash at Quintinshill Junction, near Gretna, when a southbound troop train carrying territorials of the Leith based 1/7th Royal Scots slammed into a local service.
With over 220 dead, and a similar number injured, it remains the worst crash in the history of the railways in Britain.
