Police, fire and ambulance crews have rushed to the scene in Tameside, Greater Manchester, after a train derailed.
Emergency services raced to the scene just before midday on Friday morning, just off Sidmouth Street in Audenshaw, close to the railway tracks.
Network Rail said no one has been injured, and the driver of the train is safe. You can read their full statement below. British Transport Police said the line remains closed while the scene is being cleared and investigated.
Eyewitnesses say they thought an “earthquake” was happening in the area, with one passer-by told the Manchester Evening News: “I was on a work call and heard an enormous scraping as the whole house began to shake. Spoke with neighbours closer to the line who noted pictures falling from the walls – everyone thought we were having an earthquake.”
Express.co.uk has contacted Greater Manchester Police, North West Ambulance Service and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service for further information.
