Early Fridaymorning, a Northern train travelling towards Barrow came off the tracks near Grange over Sands station. There were four customers and four Northern colleagues on board. Everyone has been safely escorted from the train.
Northern are focusing on supporting colleagues and customers who were involved in the incident and on minimising the disruption this incident will cause to other services. We’re working closely with Network Rail and others to understand more about what happened.
No trains are running between Barrow-in-Furness and Lancaster and there will be significant disruption to our services in this area. Disruption is expected until at least 8 April 2024.
