has gloss | eng: The town of Morpeth in Northumberland, England has what is reputed to be the severest curve on any main railway line in Britain. The track turns almost 90° from a northerly to an easterly direction immediately south of Morpeth Station, on an otherwise fast section of the East Coast Main Line railway. This was a major factor in three serious derailments between 1969 and 1994. The curve has a permanent speed restriction of 50mph (80km/h). |
