An investigation has been launched after a London-bound Lumo train from Newcastle was forced into an emergency stop on Sunday morning (April 17). The 0825 service (1Y80) to Kings Cross came to a sudden halt near Peterborough causing panic and minor injuries amongst its passengers.
British Transport Police said 15 people suffered minor injuries and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch had been informed. Lumo, meanwhile, said all travellers were rerouted before the train was taken out of service for safety checks causing later journeys to be cancelled.
Passenger Neuma Domingos took to Twitter and said: "Knee hurts!! And pretty shaken up but will be okay, felt terrified when the train started moving again."
