Britain’s Rail Accident Investigation Branch has opened an inquiry into a Nov. 3 derailment near Shap, Cumbria, after a Glasgow Central–London Euston passenger train hit a landslip and left the rails.

British Transport Police said they are leading the investigation into Anthony Williams, 32, and are linking five knife incidents across two days that culminated in a multiple stabbing on a London North Eastern Railway Doncaster–London King’s Cross train near Huntingdon.

The United Kingdom government was expected to introduce legislation today to formally create Great British Railways.
