A steam train that was pulling a train that had 31 passengers on board partially derailed on Monday on the Shropshire steam railway.
There was no injuries and all parts of the train and the steam train stayed upright. The incident happened as the steam train approached Hampton Loade station at a slow speed which has damaged part of the track. No emergency services needed to be called and the passengers on board were taken the remaining 4 miles of their journey by coach to Bridgnorth in Shropshire.
We don’t believe that the driver was on a steam train driving experience and this should not put off other steam train enthusiasts from having a go at driving a steam train or going for a steam train trip.
