Sir,—The piece in ‘On This Day’ in the last issue (HI 31.4, July/August 2023) regarding the train crash at Cherryville junction near Kildare Station on 22 August 1983 is incorrect on one point. It was not a ‘head-on crash’ but that of a train crashing into the rear of another that had broken down.—Yours etc.,
TADHG MOLONEY
