First serious accident on the MPLR!
William Smith suffered a broken arm today following a derailment of Queen during a regular passenger run. Luckily no members of the public were hurt although services were disrupted. Queen was running down the gradient from Lavender Hill when she derailed, no reason for this has been discovered. William was thrown clear of the cab and was lucky not to have been more seriiously hurt. He was rushed to the local A+E dept but returned later in the day to tell us all about it and to check that Queen (his only true love) was safely in the engine shed. ‘I couldnt rest easy in my mind, isnt it boyo, not knowing if Queenie was OK’ said Bill. As you can see, Bill is already on the mend and his epoxy resin is setting well.
