Edinburgh Waverley passengers caught in huge queues as trains cancelled by crash

Commuters at Edinburgh Waverley were caught in chaos on Friday morning after trains were cancelled following Thursday's lorry crash onto tracks in East Lothian. Massive queues of people stretched out the station and onto Waverley Bridge.

Late on Thursday evening, an HGV crashed onto the rail tracks of the East Coast Mainline, causing the busy route to be closed this morning as a salvage operation was launched.

The lorry driver was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for the treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
