East of England Ambulance Service said on social media that it had sent \u201ca number of resources, including air ambulance and our Hazardous Area Response Team, to a major incident on the railway south of Bedford\u201d.<\/p>\n
Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said its \u201ccrews are currently in attendance at an incident on the railway just south of Bedford\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Daily Telegraph and TalkTV reported passengers had been injured. Emergency services were yet to provide any details about injuries.<\/p>\n
Rail operator Thameslink, which also serves the region, said on X that \u201call lines are blocked between Luton and Bedford … due to a problem under investigation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Train collisions are relatively rare in Britain.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, several people were injured after two trains collided at Aviemore railway station in the Highlands of Scotland.<\/p>\n
The crash happened on the Strathspey Railway, a heritage railway run separately from mass-transit public services, and involved a stationary carriage and atrain in the station.<\/p>\n
One of the trains involved was the record-breaking, century-old Flying Scotsman, the first steam train to reach over 100 miles an hour (161km), the National Railway Museum said.<\/p>\n
In August 2020, an early morning service from Aberdeen to Glasgow came off the tracks, killing three people near the town of Stonehaven, northeast Scotland, after a landslip caused by heavy rain.<\/p>\n
The driver of the train, a conductor and a passenger died and six other people were injured.<\/p>\n
Network Rail – an arm of the UK Department for Transport – pleaded guilty in 2023 to safety failings at a court hearing and the public body was fined \u00a36.7 million ($15.4 million).<\/p>\n
