Railway Disaster near London: the accident at St. John's Station, South-Eastern Railway, 1898. 'On Monday morning, about nine o'clock, a lamentable disaster took place on the South-Eastern Railway, at the St. John's Station, between New Cross and Lewisham [in south-east London], near the junction of the North Kent with the main line. The train up from Hastings, in a thick fog, running into the train from Tunbridge, which was standing at St. John's Station, smashed the guard's van and a third-class passenger carriage. Three passengers - two of them young ladies, one a school girl and a commercial clerk or warehouseman going to business in the City - were killed. Some of the other passengers were more or less injured'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
