The far end of the station was the scene of the worst peacetime railway crash in Great Britain, on 8 October 1952, when a London-bound sleeper train from Scotland ran into the back of a stationary local train waiting at a platform, and seconds later when an express train from London to Liverpool, running in the opposite direction, ran into the resulting wreckage. There were 112 fatalities.
