Why should anything be happening?

Because it is the 30-year anniversary of the worst train disaster on
the Underground to date?

So what, why is there this fascination with commemorating every incident
than occurs where someone dies? How about commemorating Quitinshill,
Abermule, Harrow and the other incidents that have occured. We could also
add Staines, Lckerbie and various other such incidents. What leads you to
suppose that the relatives and those involved as either as surviving
passengers or emergency services personnel want to be reminded?

The "memorial", if you want one, is in daily use all over the system. It's
know as "Moorgate Control".

The folks who were involved with Ladbroke Grove have certainly minded;
they had the memorial erected near the site of the crash and I believe
they visit there on the anniversary of the crash as well!

Considering that Moorgate was equally as terrible as Ladbroke Grove, it
seems only logical that the bereaved and anyone else involved in that
may want to hold some sort of ceremony. And I would not be surprised if
anyone involved in any of the incidents you named don't also do
something similar, even if it is informal.

Indeed!

Either way, I was only curious if anything official was planned.

It's actually called TETS Protection (Trains Entering Terminal Stations).
