Father-of-three who survived the 1969 Morpeth rail disaster when he was seven months old speaks out


Colin Garness, 50, was seven months old when The Aberdonian Express he was travelling on with his parents derailed during its journey from London King's Cross to Aberdeen. Speaking 50 years after the crash, Colin Junior told the Mirror: 'We'd been in a sleeper compartment, dad on the top bunk, mum and me below. Mrs Garness wasn't reunited with baby Colin for two days until nurses brought him to her as she wept with relief. Colin Junior now lives in Dundee with his wife Anne and children Emily, 14, Elizabeth, 12, and Murray, 11. Mr and Mrs Garness made a scrapbook about the tragedy for their son.
