28/02/1975: Moorgate disaster

On 28 February 1975, a Northern City line 1938 Stock train that pulled into Moorgate crashed, killing 43 people and 74 people were wounded. It was the hugest site of tragedy on the tube route at the time. Later on in 1975, TfL no longer decided to keep this line a part of the Tube. It was rebranded to National Rail (Capital Connect) which can still be seen at stations like Highbury & Islington.
