Derailment between Grindleford and Sheffield?

[Max]

There are suggestions that there has been a derailment this morning between Grindleford and Sheffield. There are certainly rail replacement buses operating. Does anybody have any more details?

Rail enq website says its a freight train, and estimated to be causing disruption till at least 1300

Buses now replacing trains until 18:00 (at the earliest I guess as it could take longer)

We were told on the Cross Country service earlier that it was an engineering train and will be at least 18.00 before clear. Tin Bath Extra diverted via Derby.

It was the last wagon of a Rail Delivery Train that derailed traversing point work.

I think that must be the first link from this forum to Sheffield History, Stuart

Were you not out for the Tin Bath Extra on Sunday?

That was the plan, but it did not come off, and it was the Brazillian GP in the afternoon.

I had it all planned if the problems had not occurred.
