On the evening of 4 December 1957, two trains crashed in dense fog on the South Eastern Main Line near Lewisham in south-east London, causing the deaths of 90 people and injuring 173. An electric train to Hayes had stopped at a signal under the bridge, and the following steam train to Ramsgate crashed into it, destroying a carriage and causing the bridge to collapse onto the steam train. The bridge had to be completely removed; it was over a week before the lines under the bridge were reopened, and another month before the bridge was rebuilt and traffic allowed over it.

  • ルイシャム列車衝突事故(ルイシャムれっしゃしょうとつじこ、英: Lewisham rail crash)とは、1957年12月4日の午後6時20分ごろにロンドンのルイシャムバイパス線で発生した鉄道事故である。濃霧の中、橋の下でヘイズ行き電車が信号停車しているところへ後続のラムズゲート行き蒸気機関車列車が追突、衝突により橋が崩壊し蒸気機関車列車に落下した。90人が死亡し109人が入院した。橋を撤去しなければならず、橋の下の線路が再開されるまでに1週間以上要し、橋が再建され列車が通行できるようになるまでにもう1か月要した。 2回の裁判の後、ラムズゲート行き列車の運転士は故殺罪について無罪となった。運輸省の報告書は2つの注意信号を通過しても彼は減速せず停止信号で停車できなかったことを発見し、自動列車警報装置が衝突を防止していただろうと結論した。 (ja)
