1803 posts 		Reports coming in of a derailment at Winsford.

Latest info is the service disruption information page from National Rail Enquiries, which starts by saying Quote:
An engineering train has derailed at Winsford.

Then goes on to say Quote:
Because of this, trains are currently unable to run between Preston / Liverpool Lime Street and Crewe. This will continue until further notice.

More as/when known.

Specials starting at Crewe. This is of course no use to anyone turning up at Liverpool, I assume 0B00's or taxis organised to meet up with the loco hauled at Crewe?

1803 posts 		Latest unconfirmed info I've heard is that the train is cleared, but perhaps obviously they can't just run trains again straight away again, track needs checking for any damage, RAIB need to do their investigation, etc, etc.

Northern Belle started at Chester. DRS charter started Liverpool South Parkway (as booked) and ran via Middlewich. Virgin Mk3 set ran via Warrington Central hauled by a 57.
