Indeed. I was brought up in Kirkby and can just about remember when Merseyrail started in 1977. Lucky, it appears no injuries; however, had it been a “normal” Saturday then that train from Liverpool Central would have been packed.How it should look...
006 leading out of Liverpool?2K48 1835 Liverpool Ctl - Kirkby operated by 507006 / 507021 which were the units involved.
Driver reports he is ok, just shaken up. No reported injuries at present regarding passengers on board.
I think everyone who was on board is fine, no injuries reported and the train is still upright.Thoughts and prayers for everyone involved.
Unfortunately so, I guess that'll be Newport bound sooner rather than later. I'm pleased to hear that there's no injuries, must have been a bit of a fright for the unfortunate driver!Glad there are no injuries.
507006 is the unit off the rails unfortunately. Safe to say it's finished.
Looks like its gone through the buffers a good carriage length. Any TPWS loops fitted there?
Buffer stop is a clueLooks awful, unfamiliar with Mersey rail, is Kirkby a terminus ?
It IS a weekend, give em chance! Too busy watching ant and decI'm surprised the RailUK Accident Investigation Branch haven't solved what caused this yet considering we've had details of it for almost half an hour!

Good news. Thanks.I think everyone who was on board is fine, no injuries reported and the train is still upright.
That's almost certainly a write off, it'll be heading to the scrap yard like 110 and 134.Depending on the extent of the damage, it may not be particularly rail worthy and unlikely to go to Newport. Road removal to some other scrapyard seems more likely
This is actually where I’ve come from, give us a breakIt IS a weekend, give em chance! Too busy watching ant and dec
