During the 1926 General Strike, miners in Cramlington accidentally derailed the Flying Scotsman. No one was killed and only one person was slightly injured.
Eight Northumberland miners were sentenced to 48 years’ penal servitude. One of them was William Muckle, who wrote a book about it called 'No Regrets.'
