Song about S&DJR accident at Bath

Around the 50th anniversary of the S&D closure, a choir performed a song or ballad about the 1929 accident at Bath, in which no 89 ran away down from Devonshire Tunnel into Bath yard, the crew having been overcome by smoke such that they were unable to apply the brakes.

I have found a song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTk8feqxDgw about the Burnham Branch, but not one about the 1929 accident.

Does anyone here know about the song, songwriter, lyrics, choir or whether anything about it can be found online?
