14/05/2007
I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the kindness shown to myself and my wife. I class myself as very fortunate to have met such kind and caring people.
Raymond, HertfordshireIrwin Mitchell Solicitors are currently representing a number of passengers of the Virgin Pendolino train from Cumbria to Glasgow which derailed near Grayrigg in Cumbria on 23 February 2007.
At approximately 8.15pm on 23 February the train derailed and following its derailment travelled a further 600 metres and came to rest on the side of the railway embankment.
Injured in Virgin Train Crash
One passenger suffered fatal injuries; 22 further persons on board the train, including the driver, were taken to hospital with injuries. A significant number of others were walking wounded and received first aid on site.
Initial investigations indicate that the condition of the Lambrigg 2B points at the site of the derailment were the immediate cause of the accident. No evidence has been found to date that indicates the driving of the train, the condition of the train or the signalling control system contributed to the accident.
Irwin Mitchell's dedicated and experienced team have previously represented victims of the Berkshire, Hatfield, Kings Cross, Ladbroke Grove, Paddington and Selby rail disasters.
