Free Free‘Human lives are cheap. Dirt cheap. Men risk them for nothing’. These are the opening lines of ‘Safety Movement’ a document introduced by The Great Western Railway’s management, in August 1913. The document was a radical change to attitudes towards safety and was the precursor to ‘Personal Track Safety Handbook’.
This event will look at how attitudes to safety have changed from the opening of the West Durham to Stockton line with the first purpose-built passenger carriage in 1825, through the introduction of Railway Regulation Act 1840, The Regulation of Railways Act 1871, formation of the National Union of Railwaymen and through to the present day.
