Four people have been injured after a high-speed train derailed in Cumbria this morning causing severe travel disruption. A major incident was declared and emergency service were dispatched after the 4.28am Avanti West Coast service from Glasgow to Euston came off the rails between stations in Shap, which is on the West Coast Main Line, at 6.10am. The derailing happened between Penrith North Lakes and Oxenholme Lake District stations, with all lines between the two stops now blocked causing severe disruptions expected to last until the end of the day. Passengers onboard were escorted off the train three hours after it came off the tracks. #train #derailment #cumbria #travel #shap
