The town of Morpeth in Northumberland, England, has what is reputed to be the tightest curve (17 chains or 340 metres radius) of any main railway line in Britain. The track turns approximately 98° from a northwesterly to an easterly direction immediately west of Morpeth Station on an otherwise fast section of the East Coast Main Line railway. This was a major factor in three serious derailments between 1969 and 1994. The curve has a permanent speed restriction of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h).

  • A cidade de Morpeth, em Northumberland, Inglaterra, tem o que é considerado a curva mais apertada de toda a malha ferroviária britânica. A pista gira aproximadamente 98° de noroeste para leste, imediatamente a oeste da estação de Morpeth em uma seção rápida da . Este foi um fator importante em três descarrilamentos graves entre 1969 e 1994. A curva tem uma restrição de velocidade permanente de 50 milhas por hora (80 km/h). Isso levou à introdução de placas triangulares de alerta de velocidade com um contorno amarelo, por vezes apelidadas de placas Morpeth, bem como um Sistema de Alerta Automático na cabine do maquinista, para alertá-los.
