Disruption after train derailed
A freight train has been derailed near Clapham Junction station in south London.

Railtrack said the train, which was operated by freight company EWS, was on a dedicated goods line between Clapham Junction and Long Hedge junction.

The middle three carriages came off the track just before 1300 GMT on Tuesday.

There are no reports of any injuries but one eyewitness said the train is wedged under a bridge.

Railtrack says there may be some disruption to passenger services while efforts are made to clear the incident.
