It is near Lockerbie, just outside Gretna.
The railway company escaped responsibility for the following reasons;
The shortage of skilled men caused by the war.
The train was under military control so the carriages were locked.
The carriages were wooden, gas lit compartment stock; a programme to withdraw all this stock and replace it with steel electrically lit corridor stock was delayed, again by the war. Britmax 12:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Short deliberation of 8 minutes.
Eight minutes is not a long time for a jury to deliberate. Does this include the time that it took the jury to go to and from the jury room?
Abraham Lincoln was prosecuting attorney in one trial where the jury didn't even leave their seats in the court room!!
