A second train derailment occurred within 24 hours, with carriages leaving the tracks a day after a separate crash in Lewes injured 20 people. The incidents raised fresh concerns about rail safety and disruption, particularly as the second derailment happened during the hottest day of the year.

The article reports that the later service slipped off the tracks, but the supplied text does not give details of injuries, location, cause or the scale of disruption from that incident. The earlier Lewes crash left 20 people injured, placing the two events in close succession and prompting attention on the circumstances surrounding both derailments.
