🚂 Train Drama in Cumbria: What You Need to Know! 🚂
Early this Monday, an Avanti West Coast train from Glasgow headed to Euston derailed near the village of Shap, Cumbria. While the incident sounds alarming, we’ve got some reassuring news: only four people sustained minor injuries and over 80 passengers were checked over by paramedics on site. All passengers have been safely evacuated and thankfully, no severe injuries have been reported.
Emergency services were quick on the scene, initially treating the incident as a major one, but they’ve since stood down and are now focusing on recovery operations. 🚨
However, train fans and commuters heads up! The derailment has led to all lines being blocked north of Preston. Avanti West Coast has announced that travel disruptions will persist for several days, so it’s best to avoid travelling this route for now. They’re working hard to clear the line and ensure safety, which is their top priority.
Network Rail is currently investigating the cause of the derailment, and both Avanti and Network Rail are urging passengers to stay updated by checking with their train operators or National Rail Enquiries.
We know disruptions to your travel plans are frustrating, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as the teams work to get things back on track. 🚆 Stay safe out there and plan your journeys accordingly. 👍
