LONDON (Reuters) -British transport minister Heidi Alexander said there were no injuries reported after a train derailed in northern England on Monday.
"I know that a major incident has been stood up," she said on LBC radio. "There are no reported injuries. We will work swiftly to make sure that people can get off the train safely."
North West Ambulance Service said it had dispatched resources to the scene and was working with other emergency services.
