This is the station building on the Wealdstone side. Sadly the station will always be remembered for the events of 8 October 1952 when Britain's worst train crash in peacetime occurred. A Scottish express train colliding with the rear of a local train standing at platform 4 then seconds later a northbound express hauled by two locomotives collided with the wreckage causing further injury and demolished one span of the footbridge and the northern end of platforms 2 and 3.In total 112 people were killed and 340 were injured.
