Hi all,

I don't think this has allready been mentioned:

A derialed freight train near/in Doncaster station is causing disruption to all northbound services, because only Platform 4 is in use.

Does anyone know more?

It was 66551 which derailed, according to The Track Talk Page.
SPAD which lead him onto the catch points. Rerailed by the Bruff from Toton {cheers to WNXX forum}
