Collision at Grosmont Station

An engine collided with a stationary train this morning at Grosmont station.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has confirmed that it has sent inspectors to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to gather evidence following an accident involving a light engine and a stationary passenger train at Grosmont this morning.

It's understood that there were passengers on the stationary train at the time of the incident but that no serious injuries were reported.

A spokesperson from North Yorkshire Moors Railway said:

"We can confirm that there was a collision at 10.32am today between a diesel locomotive and a stationary set of carriages at Grosmont station. All passengers were taken off the stationary train and transported back to Whitby; there were no serious injuries reported.

As with all such accidents, it is currently being investigated by the RAIB (Rail Accident Investigation Board); we have no further information at this time."
