Derailed train hits rail services
Rail services in northern Lincolnshire have been disrupted by the derailment of a freight train.

Three wagons of a coal train left the track east of Scunthorpe on Thursday afternoon. Network Rail engineers are working to repair the damage.

Transpennine Express (TPE) services between Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Scunthorpe have been replaced by buses.

Services from Scunthorpe to Doncaster, Sheffield and Manchester Airport will continue to run, a TPE spokesman said.
