It's 1915, it's Gretna Green and a whole load of railway blokes are drinking tea in a signal box and not doing their bloody job properly.

In what generations of train-spotters have already noted down as the 14th episode of the CB Wallop Podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss The Quintinshill rail disaster - the truly horrible train crash that never would have happened if British people could just get to work on time.

Should we have explained this using a Thomas the Tank Engine metaphor? - No… no we shouldn't have.

*TRIGGER WARNING - This one's horrid - I mean, they're all horrid, but this one's really horrid. Urghh so… okay.. it's people being burned alive essentially, so you know… be ready for that. *
