Descarrilamiento en Wickford provoca cancelaciones tras incidentes en Lewes

Sociedad

El 11 de agosto un tren de Greater Anglia descarriló cerca de Wickford, en Essex, sin que se reportaran heridos, y se evacuó un segundo tren; para el 14 de agosto la incidencia había generado cancelaciones generalizadas en la red, según la secretaria de Transporte Heidi Alexander. Este accidente se produjo después de otros descarrilamientos ese mismo día cerca de Lewes, en East Sussex; mientras CNN y ABC News indicaron inicialmente que no hubo lesiones graves, NBC informó posteriormente que 20 pasajeros resultaron heridos en el tren de Southern Rail, reflejando la disparidad de los primeros reportes.
