It's this train, which was on time, so approx 1 hour ago, must be just north of Oxenholme.
What's the line speed in the area? Would it have been tilting? Sounds like it could be very bad  update: 4 carriages on their side

And as on cue the rolling news stations are stroking themselves to get your pics or video. And then they will start dishing out all the wrong information as they usually do.
Hope no one is seriously hurt. Cheers Hentis

Felt like about 110mph when going southbound through that area in August.

Dear or dear. Apparently, according to eye whitnesses, it "seemed to hit something, jolt, then slide down the side of an embankment"
 BBC News 24 now...

What happens if this requires the grounding of the entire Pendolino fleet... unlikely I know, but it would be interesting if so.
Also, if it was a tilt failure, again unlikely, could that mean 221s have to be grounded too? On a more serious note, hope nobody is hurt or scarred by this incident. |
