Chaos this afternoon. I would be intrigued to know what the electrical fault was that caused the mess.
A train brought down the OHLE on the bend into south gosforth before the points causing the train to overheat as well there is a few pictures flying about on different sites flicker is showing on of workers on top of the train cleaning the site after the incident. Also on Facebook checky watch page theres a picture of the train being evacuated with white smoke it the background. I also thinking has this part of the line not recently been replaced as well but not sure if they replaced the OHLE as well as track.
