Description:These newscuttings report the death and inquest of train guard Mark Robins. Robins was a guard on a L&NWR coal train to Perry Barr. He was directing his train into a siding to allow a football train to pass when he was hit by the passing train. There was a dense fog at the time and it was believed he did not see the train coming. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
