Train derailment disrupts service | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Hundreds of rail commuters faced delays travelling home from London when a train partially derailed as it approached Waterloo station. | |
The last two carriages of the South West Trains service from Dorking came off the tracks as it entered the south London station about 1830 BST. | |
The carriages stayed upright and no-one was hurt, a spokeswoman for South West Trains said. | |
Delays were expected on services to Guildford, Dorking and Woking. | |
Station blocked | |
The 1735 BST service from Dorking was approaching platform two at low speed when the last two of the eight carriages came off the tracks. | |
Passengers were led to safety through the other carriages and through the driver's cab at the rear of the train. | |
Trains are unable to access platforms one to four as the two derailed carriages have blocked the entrance to the station. | |
A Network Rail spokeswoman said an investigation had begun into the derailment and delays would continue until the carriages were removed. |
