Railway commuter misery after Merseyrail train derails at at Kirkdale station

Jun 30 2009

A TRAIN derailment brought travel chaos to commuters today after a "handbrake" was left off. Red-faced train bosses are launching an investigation into the accident at the depot in Kirkdale but are working on the assumption that a basic error has disrupted the network for thousands of Merseyside commuters. No one was injured in the incident at 10.35am this morning. The three car passenger train was awaiting its next duty when it rolled from the depot with no one on board.
