I saw quick shot on TV which seemed to show some of the tanks on fire. No real details were given out down here in the South. Was driver OK and was loco damaged ?
Anybody know which loco it was?

Driver OK but naturally quite shocked. 66067 and front portion of train undamaged despite over dramatised reports as ever in the press.
