Train which derailed at Heaton Depot in Newcastle to be removed from tracks by crane

Work to remove a train which derailed at a railway depot in Newcastle remains ongoing.

Dramatic images showed a TransPennine Express service which had come off the tracks and smashedinto concrete near the Heaton depot at around 6.30am on Tuesday. No commuters were on board when the train derailed and it was confirmed there were no injuries as a result of the incident.

Northern Rail have now confirmed that work is underway to remove the train from the tracks by crane. The rail operators were, however, unable to give a timeframe as to how long the removal will take.
