A train crash in Spain has killed at least 39 people and injured 170 others, with the death toll expected to continue to rise.
An article on The Mirror says the high-speed train derailed late on Sunday in the town at Adamuz, Andalusia, encroaching on the adjacent track and colliding with another oncoming train, which also left the track. Reports indicate that there were around 300 people on one train and a further 186-or so on the other.
Emergency services confirmed 39 people have died while 170 are injured and 75 are in hospital. Fifteen of those in hospital are seriously injured, four of whom are children.
Avanti West Coast has made a new bid to bring back an extra weekday London train service for Blackpool after a series of cuts.
An article on the BBC website says the train operator said it wanted to add the extra service when the next timetables changes came in in May, but the move has not yet been approved.
It is thought this could be the 12.52 GMT service from the Lancashire resort to the capital.
The four daily direct services to and from London Euston were reduced to two a day last month.
A rail firm has secured a deal on a large office building as part of a “significant long-term investment” in a city, bosses have said.
Great Western Railway (GWR) said it had secured a four-storey building next to Plymouth Station, which would provide office space for operational staff, administrative teams, and rail industry partners.
An article on the BBC website says GWR said the deal represented “the largest office letting in Plymouth for a decade and the largest in the region outside of Bristol”.
Originally constructed as a Royal Mail sorting office, the building was refurbished and converted by the University of Plymouth in 2019. The university left the site in September.
