Try the national library newspaper collection at Colindale. The reports into the disaster should be in national archives at Kew. Maybe P&O have archives you could reference.

They should not have to find out. All the information they need to manage the train should be delivered to them electronically. To a tablet or to their ticket machine. And control should have seen the train from Brid was a bit late and authorised him, again electronically, to wait up to 4 mins.

There would need to be a guard at the back if there were any unfitted wagons in the consist. The brake van would be needed if a coupling broke and the tail started running away in the wrong direction.
