Network Rail has released a statement following yesterday’s (3 November) derailment of a train at Shap, in Cumbria.<\/p>\n

A Network Rail spokesperson said: <\/strong>“Engineers have worked through the night with our contractors to successfully move the train. Immediately following this teams began the complex work to repair the damage to overhead lines, track and signalling as well as initial works to repair the landslip. This is a complex fix, and our teams are working in challenging conditions with a further Met Office yellow weather warning for rain today.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to reopen the line so trains can run as soon as possible tomorrow. We appreciate passengers\u2019 patience while we carry out this critical work. Lines remain closed between Preston and Carlisle. Please continue to check with train operators or National Rail Enquiries for the latest travel information and alternative routes.”<\/p>\n
