Various links have been posted (lots relating to the ITV News site), and there's a clip somewhere. But this one is a little bit lof a different angle https://mobile.twitter.com/benlevyfire/status/294126932528861187 Second major de-railment this week after Castle Donnington on Monday evening (although no fire)...

Update: 47854 (the front loco) removed the coaches at about 23:30 Wednesday night. Cranes were brought in yesterday from Wigan and Bescot, and 47500 was re-railed onto the Up Bolton. It was then pushed into Liverpool Road Siding (the NR end of the Museum of Science & Industry link), and the line re-opened about an hour ago.
