The train was due to terminate at Eastbourne.<\/p>\n
The town’s MP, Josh Babarinde, says he has already been informed of one constituent who suffered injuries to their ribs in the derailment.<\/p>\n
In a social media post, Babarinde described the incident as “utterly shocking” and thanked emergency services for their response.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m full of gratitude for our emergency services who have responded quickly and are pulling out every stop to ensure that passengers and staff who were on the train are taken to safety as soon as possible – thank you to them,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
“This is clearly distressing for those passengers and staff on board, even if they didn\u2019t sustain physical injuries, and I have made representations for the appropriate mental health support to be made available to affected passengers and staff without delay.”<\/p>\n
He added serious questions will need to be answered about how this happened, but called for everyone to pull together in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eastbourne MP says constituent suffered rib injuriespublished at 18:51 BST 18:51 BST The train was due to terminate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-737021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
