Saturday is 90 years to the day since one of the West's worst train crashes.

Fifteen people were killed and 23 injured, when the Leeds to Bristol night mail train crashed under the road bridge at Charfield station, on 13 October 1928.

Rail archives showed the train went through a red signal in thick fog, and gas cylinders used to light the carriages ignited on impact.

Even today mystery surrounds the identity of the bodies of two children who perished.

For many years a mystery "woman in black" visited their graves but her identity was never known.

The body of a man thought to be in his early 20s was found in the River Avon in Bath on Friday.

Police and fire crews pulled the body from the river this morning following a call from the public.

Police said the circumstances of the man's death are not yet clear.
