222104, EM 10.29 London St. Pancras-Nottingham (1D24), Wellingborough station 221105 passes through Wellingborough station at line speed forming the 10.29 St. Pancras to Nottingham service. This photograph is not tipped but shows clearly the camber of both the track and the slope away from the track of down platform at Wellingborough. The latter was a late addition following the disastrous accident where seven people were killed on 2nd September 1898 when the 19.15 St. Pancras to Manchester was derailed after hitting a luggage trolley that had run off the platform on to the track. One of the chief findings of the Board of Trade enquiry was that platforms should slope away from running lines, something that is still done today.
