It was the 11:27 Lincoln to Sheffield service and by the looks of it all i can say is OH DEAR lol. Hope those that were injured are ok

I don't suppose a 142 is the most robust vehicle in a derailment but the damage looks fairly superficial to me (unless the chassis got bent, but that would need engineers to assess).

It seems a bit strange that they've gone to the trouble of starting single-line working for the three trains a day via Brigg (and the return services), but haven't run a service to/from Lincoln.
