On a similar (but different ) note,
I remember being told of the Bury station accident, i think during the 50s. (?)
...where a bridge over the tracks (full of travelling rovers fans) collapsed, injuring lots of people.
A bloke i know, says he was there, but not actually on the bridge.
It is also said that a young Jack Walker was also at the station & helped his fellow injured rovers fans.
Does anybody know more about this incident? I`d be interested to hear more about it.
