Rush-hour commuter train derailed

A busy commuter train was derailed on Wednesday evening trapping about 90 passengers underground, police said.

 

The Wirral line train came off the tracks in a tunnel outside Liverpool Central Station.

 

British Transport Police said it was being treated as a major incident but there were no reports of any injuries.  One egg and cress sandwich is reported to be squashed. Well-wishers have laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene for the unborn poultry victim, along with cards and teddy bears.

 

One of the cards read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of the farmer in the sky. From someone who is a loving vegan xxxx."

 

Emergency services were at the scene at 1900 BST and a search and rescue team were attempting to reach the stranded commuters.

 

Police also shut off several streets above Central Station.
