Good evening to you all
Was it Sunters that had the river bridge collapse on them at Ferrybridge or Boroughbridge in the 1950s/1960s?Hiya mate, you’re alright?
Wasn’t it Wynn’s when that bridge… gave way…? Didn’t Dean posted an article about that event on here?
Wynn’s was also involved in a level crossing on 6 January 1968 - the Hixon Rail Crash. An express train hit the low-loader with a 120 ton electrical transformer on it as it was crossing the level-crossing.
Interestingly - This route had been approved by the Ministry of Transport, but the map of the route made no mention of the level crossing at Hixon;
