It was an early morning nasty surprise for the passengers of the Train No 12759 / 12760 Charminar Express coming from Tambaram (Tamil Nadu) to Hyderabad’s Nampally terminal station when the loco-pilot almost crashed into the sand barrier at the end of the platform crossing the danger signal on Wednesday.
Railway sources said the train overshot the platform and three coaches derailed as the loco-pilot did not apply brakes on time, leading to six passengers suffering minor injuries. The injured passengers were reported to be waiting to disembark near the entrance and on the footboard when they lost balance and fell when the coaches S2, S3 and S6 derailed.
