Second train derails day after two passengers badly hurt in East Sussex
Two passengers were seriously injured in the earlier Southern derailment, while investigators examine both incidents and rail services remain disrupted.
- On Friday, a Greater Anglia train derailed just south of Wickford at 2:12pm, leaving rear carriages upright while officers assessed the scene for injuries.
- This incident occurred less than 24 hours after a Southern Rail train derailed near Lewes on Thursday, involving roughly 150 passengers and two individuals with "severe" injuries.
- Greater Anglia suspended all services between Shenfield and Southend Victoria, warning of "major disruption" until at least 6pm and advising passengers not to travel.
- Councillor Alex Myers from Basildon Council commented, "My thoughts are with all those onboard and hope there are no serious injuries," while the Rail Accident Investigations Branch prepares updates.
- The RAIB will provide information "next week once we know more" as Network Rail spokespeople work to understand the situation across Anglia following the back-to-back derailments.
