High-speed train derailed in Cumbria causing severe travel disruption

A major incident was declared and emergency service were dispatched after the 4.28am Avanti West Coast service from Glasgow to Euston came off the rails between stations in Shap, which is on the West Coast Main Line, at 6.10am. The derailing happened between Penrith North Lakes and Oxenholme Lake District stations, with all lines between the two stops now blocked causing severe disruptions expected to last until the end of the day.
