    Wow. As sad as it is to say it’s unlikely there are no fatalities when a train goes off rails.

    Doesn't look very good. No doubt related to last night's weather.

    Read that a bridge collapsed due to a landslide, but all rumours at the moment.

    I live there and it'* the area pretty hard.

    You just don't think of it happening on your doorstep.

    One confirmed dead now and who knows how many injuries. Fortunately its not normally a particularly busy train.

    I was due to catch one at 8 going the other way.

    Ruth Davidson is a little rat..

    not one mention on politics scotland in regards to show compassion with the train derailment.

    every other MP has opened speech showing compassion..

    she is the devils work

    And yet certain * on here think she’s a great MSP and would be a loss to Holyrood.

    3 fatalities including the driver

    Just seen the overhead shots on the news, brutal. Driver didn't stand a chance.

    No consolation for those who have lost loved ones but there could have been dozens more on that train outwith these Covid times

    That train is often packed.

    It was reported that the driver was forced to stop due to a landslide. He was instructed to head back to intersection points to then change over to the other track before carrying on his journey.

    It sounds very risky considering the conditions and what had already been seen. I'm not sure that'll go down well.

    Sickening news for all affected terrible terrible stuff.

    that clown politician was quick to delete his tweet today eh * idiot after the severe weather last night surely he must have known things may have been affected today. Yes I doubt he expected deaths but cmon the fact he has deleted it he obviously knows he has made a complete * ae it.
    He should resign his position
