The true story of the Staplehurst railway disaster, one of Victorian Britain’s worst rail accidents. A crowded train ran at full speed into a section of track that had been taken up for repair. Charles Dickens, who was on board the train, fought heroically to save lives, and found time to save the handwritten manuscript of Our Mutual Friend.
