Kirkby train crash

2021 railway crash in the United Kingdom

On 13 March 2021, a Class 507 train operated by Merseyrail collided with the buffer stops at Kirkby railway station in Merseyside, England. The train had passed the start of the 15 mph (24 km/h) speed restriction for the station whilst coasting at 41 mph (66 km/h). The driver later applied the emergency brakes, but the train still collided with the buffer stop at 29 mph (47 km/h).
