An investigation has been launched after a high-speed train derailed in Kent.<\/p>\n

The train was travelling at a low speed in a sidings at Ramsgate railway maintenance depot on Thursday night when it left the tracks, according to Network Rail.<\/p>\n

There were no passengers aboard the train and no reported injuries but a local resident said the train derailed “inches” from a family’s garden fence.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Network Rail said an investigation is now underway to find out what caused the derailment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAn incident occurred last night in which an empty train, in the sidings at Ramsgate depot, derailed at low speed,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Services are running normally through the area this morning, at a reduced speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was some disruption to our services, and if any of customers were delayed then they can claim delay repay.”<\/p>\n

Rail operator Southeastern said on X at 19:25 GMT on Thursday that trains were unable to run between Ramsgate and Minster due to a safety inspection of the tracks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ten minutes later, they posted to say the inspection was complete and trains could run again.<\/p>\n

At 20:03, the operator said an additional safety issue had been found and that trains were halted between Ramsgate and Minster.<\/p>\n

Services resumed at 20:16 but at a slow speed, causing delays until 00:57 on Friday.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear if the safety inspections are linked to the derailment.<\/p>\n

Southeastern was contacted for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
