Interesting that one is called 'Kendal Green Crash' rather than Kensal Green, and also appears to show D stock!

The crash seen in the video above happened at Richmond in west London. I've been to Massachusetts three times, and strangely, just over 2 years ago we stayed in 'Historic Concord', which is the next stop along the line. So I have actually travelled through Kendal Green on the MTBA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.)

And the Kiburn crash is actually the Central Line crash at Leyton.

And the Kiburn crash is actually the Central Line crash at Leyton. But it show A stock, so cannot be Leyton. Although the picture on the clip appears to be 59/62 stock, so may be a 'stock' (please excuse the unavoidable pun) picture.

The newsreel footage relates to the Kilburn crash (A stock and 1972 stock visible) but there is a brief mention towards the end of the clip to the then-recent crash at Leyton, and it is a still from that section of the report which is used in the caption. The Richmond overshoot in 1987 is wrongly captioned as "Kendal Green" (sic). There was a collision at Kensal Green the previous year, between a 1959 stock train and a class 313.
