Clapham Junction Memorial

Tuesday 12th December marked the 35th anniversary of the Clapham Train Crash. A memorial service was held at the scene, led by the Railway Chaplains.

The BTP was represented by Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi and officers from Clapham Junction.

The History Group was represented by our Chair, Tony Thompson. Tony, as Superintendent, was the BTP Incident Officer at the crash.  He says: “I believe that I was the only former BTP officer present that had attended the Clapham crash. I was able to speak to the CC about how BTP managed the response and the subsequent investigation led by the late Supt Tony Stoppani.”
