Helen Flanagan has sparked outrage after she was allowed to travel 200 miles on a train for free.

British Transport Police today confirmed that three people died in yesterday's light aircraft crash near Stafford.

Air accident investigators are preparing to remove the wreckage of a light aircraft which crashed near one of Britain’s busiest railway lines, police said today.

A woman who walked away virtually unscathed from the Cumbria train crash today told how she was flung around the carriage "like a pin in a pinball machine" before it came to rest upside down.

All nine carriages on a high-speed tilting train containing around 200 people derailed in Cumbria last night, leaving passengers injured and trapped.
