46045 + 26007 derailment at Fletton?

[Deltic1]

Just heard that 26007 and 46045 have derailed at Fletton earlier today, does anyone know if it's true?

Thanks

It would appear to be, unfortunately, as been mentioned on wnxx and Facebook. Hopefully it's not serious.

Would seem 0X56, a light engine move (with 5 heritage diesel locos) has derailed between Fletton Junction the Nene river Bridge on the DSL.

Just passed it, seems only the rear bogie of 26007 has derailed.

From the picture, it's immediately next to the ground frame. Are there trap/other points just there? Movement under the last bogie, perhaps?

Confirmed as the 26 is off, and one bogie of the Peak is on the check rails. I really feel for Cozzy (26007s owner), he's not had the best luck with that beast of late.

I just hope he's not superstitious, at my count that's 2 incidents so far this year, unless you are aware of others?

i suspect its hot box at Doncaster last year which resulted in it being having to be removed from a convoy is one of the incidents being referred to.
