Life on the mainland was, however, pretty normal for most people. For twenty-six-year-old Deborah Linsley it was the day she would return to her home in Edinburgh following a few days visiting her family in friends in Bromley, South East London, following a training course in London. Deborah was going to be her brother's bridesmaid in two weeks-time and the trip was a welcomed break that allowed her to catch-up with the wedding plans. At the time the train was most sensible and economic way to travel around the UK, so her brother took her to Petts Wood train station some twenty-minuets away so that she could catch the Orpington to London Victoria train and then onwards to Scotland.
