Default Train catches fire and derails on bridge in Manchester


A train has derailed and caught fire on a bridge in Manchester city centre.

It happened on Windsor Bridge, close to Salford Crescent.

Network Rail has confirmed that it was not a passenger train, and said the incident will disrupt rail services.



Granada Reports [ITV News]

I was only on that train a matter of days ago
