Train suspended on washed-out track for 12 minutes

The first carriage of a train with 150 passengers onboard was suspended over a large hole for 12 minutes, the Rail Accident Investigation Board has said.

The board said the driver probably prevented a derailment when he took the initiative and reversed the train.
