Nine people have been injured in a train accident in Northern Ireland.
At least three carriages of the 12.50pm Belfast to Derry service came off the tracks at Castlerock.
It is believed at least one carriage rolled down a steep bank before ending up on its side on the beach.
"It's very lucky no one was killed, it looks like quite a horrendous crash scene," a PSNI officer at the scene said.

None of the injuries was said to be life-threatening, although the driver suffered leg injuries.
"Emergency services and Northern Ireland Railways personnel are all there and we will be launching a full investigation into the incident," a spokeswoman for operating company Translinksaid.
About 20 people were on the train at the time of the derailment.
It is understood that many rocks were on the line at the crash scene, with investigators probing the possibility that it was caused by a landslide.
