York Derailment, 31/01/13

[ushawk]

NRE is reporting that a charter train has derailed at York, fortunately no injuries are reported.

Anyone know any further info ?

Seemingly not a good month for WCRC. Another train of theirs has derailed. This time off end of platform 10 York station. Access to plats 9 10 and 11 at York blocked.

5Z85 ECS York NRM to Carnforth front bogie of support coach - no injuries.

Any idea when the move is likely to be rescheduled to?

I had planned my lunchbreak around watching the loco pass Keighley.

It happened at lunchtime and the air across York resounded with the protracted howl of the locomotive whistle. From another era, really...

Booked in again for tomorrow. Says scheduled for 0mph at the moment. Seems apt.

At least this one hasn't set on fire...
Is it causing any notable delays through York?

Someone said there was definitely a fire on the loco

Luckily it was contained inside!

Passed Keighley. 60009 with just one coach. Running fine.
