Derailment at Bristol 24/03/2014

The train arriving on platform 3 and 4.....

Reminds me when a XC service managed to jump platform 4 of Basingstoke so that the first 2 cars were off the platform edge on the 26th October around 8:45

So did XC have enough Voyagers run trains today? I see no extra HSTs were out. Just the usual three whilst Dawlish is closed at the moment.

One or two services were cancelled throughout the day I believe.

That's quite the derailment!

Will there be an RAIB investigation into it, or is it just business as usual?

It looks like the points may have moved under the train - would that be a logical explanation?
