Derailment near Wickford
A Greater Anglia train derailed on Friday near Wickford in Essex, the Press Association understands. Photos from the scene appear to show the train upright and it is not yet known if anyone was injured.
Previous incident in East Sussex
It comes after a major incident was declared by British Transport Police (BTP) after three carriages ended up on their side, trapping passengers on board the Southern train near Lewes on Thursday afternoon.
Around 150 people had been on board the service from London Victoria to Eastbourne, which was evacuated. Two people were taken to major trauma centres with “severe” injuries.
BTP said on Friday the injuries are not deemed to be life-threatening.
