Times Arrow, my time travel historical has been contracted by WRP! :D Based in Headley Cross in 1841, the story contains the train crash from Woodley of the same year. I changed events slightly to fit my story line - the train is going in the opposite direction at a slightly different time of day. But the death toll etc is true to the real event.

Will the arrow of love f...
