One Engineers train has collided with another in a Possession at New Cumnock, Scotland. Luckily everyone has walked away, but there is rolling stock all over the show.

Apparently there has been a tweet from Network rail.
Early indications are that a 1000t crane can be used to recover the derailed wagons. This is likely to take 10 days 2/4
2:55pm - 2 Aug 15

Once the wagons are removed it will take 3 days to repair the track. A temporary timetable will run til then 3/4
2:56pm - 2 Aug 15
