Talk:Merstham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I read that the Merstham Tunnel Mystery WAS the first murder on a railway in the world... Do you have a source for why it isn't?
- The thing is, it's a startling claim. After all we're talking about 80 years of a violent century, here. It would be astonishing if this was restricted to the UK, let alone the whole world. I think it really needs an authoritative citation before making the claim here. I have found a citation (which I don't claim to be authoritative) for an earlier one, by the way: [1] Mucky Duck 10:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- An update on this - Here is a good source (British Transport Police) for what they say was the first railway murder, near Hackney Wick in 1864: [2] Mucky Duck 12:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
