The first carriage is not upright, its laying on the side. But they are intact. 80's stock is well built.

Made fer bit of mess there.....:(:eek:

Is it me or did one of the carriages detach from its bogie in a rather catastrophic manner?

Bad news indeed.

Yes, they detached. But they are not fastened very much on rail vehicles.

The cars will be lifted soon:
