Project X (British Railways sabotage)

Project X was a covert operation during the early Cold War aimed at disrupting British Railways' operations through sabotage. Conducted by intelligence agencies, its goal was to hinder transportation efficiency and create internal instability, possibly to prepare for a larger strategic advantage. The sabotage involved sabotage tactics like tampering with signals, infrastructure, and rolling stock, often secretly carried out by operatives. While details remain classified, the project underscores the strategic use of sabotage during that period to influence political or military outcomes, highlighting the tense environment of Cold War espionage activities.
