== Opposition to continuous brakes == 

 The opposition on the grounds of cost (particularly by the LNWR and it`s chairman Richard Moon) to the fitting of the automatic type of brake meant that it took a serious accident at Armagh in 1889 before legislation compelled the automatic system. 
 
 Why has this sentence, which I researched back in 2006 (but have only just noticed) been removed ? 
 As far as I`m aware Richard Moon of the LNWR holds an infamous part in the history of the continuous vacuum brake.
