Re: Glasgow train accidents

Hi there,
Was wondering if any of you could help with something...
My grandfather died in a train accident when my dad was 7 years old and he was too young to know very much about it.
On doing some research at the Mitchell Library I found this...
This was on the 24th October 1953. He died the next day.
I had tried to find official reports and even emailed the procurator fiscal to see if any records would be kept but to no avail.
Was just trying to shed a bit more light on events for my dad, as he was so young and they 'just didn't talk about it' back then.
Unfortunately he lost his mother too when he was 21 so never got the chance to find out anything himself.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Panda.
