News of the Times Episode 106 | 1865-1920
1831: Madness, Mayhem and Murder on the Railways: Twisted Tuesdays | Episode 106
"In today’s Twisted Tales, we look at Railway madness mostly during the Victorian era.  With the advent of the super-fast trains, it was thought the speed from the trains negatively impacted the delicately intelligent mind’s lunacy which could lead to a type of madness. 
The early newspaper articles abound with stories of male maniacs doing all kinds of weird and not nice things in railway carriages, with their equilibrium recovered once the train stops. 
Women, and those from the colonies, were supposedly not so strongly impacted because their brains were not as developed.  Really.
Today, we look at this phenomenon of maniacal behaviour on trains.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
