Melbourne -Sydney XPT Derails north of Melbourne

[Puffingbilly]

Just caught a news flash on Channel 9 advising that the Melbourne/Sydney XPT service has derailed just north of Melbourne with several cars leaving the track. Reports of 2 people deceased and others being transferred to Melbourne hospitals. There were some 160 passengers aboard at the time of the incident. Cause still being determined.

Just to be clear, it was the late running Syd to Mel service.
