Freight train derails near Carlisle.

A railway line across northern England is expected to be closed for days after a freight train derailed in Carlisle.

Wagons loaded with cement left the tracks near the Petteril Bridge junction, off London Road, shortly after 20:00 BST on Wednesday.

It caused "significant damage" to the bridge, track and lineside equipment, according to Network Rail, but no-one is believed to have been injured.

Services between Carlisle and Newcastle and Carlisle and Leeds are affected.
