Search resumes for train crash bodies

Emergency teams have resumed their efforts to recover more bodies from the rail crash yesterday in northern England.

They spent the night levelling marshy ground beside the railway line and cranes were brought in to lift the mangled carriages.

At least thirteen people died in the crash.

It happened when a road vehicle fell onto the track from a bridge, derailing a passenger express into the path of an oncoming freight train.

It was the fourth fatal crash on Britain's railways in three and a half years.
