Description	The collision was caused when the signalman forgot about a pair of light engines waiting for the all-clear to continue on their journey to Carlisle. They were still waiting there when he set the down track for a midnight sleeper heading from London St. Pancras to Glasgow. When the signal cleared, the light engines set off in front of the faster express train into the same block section. The Scotch Express ploughed into the back of the light engines around one mile down the track.
