Italy's rail network faced huge
disruption early on Thursday after the coach of a goods train
derailed near a Florence station.
This led to the suspension of rail traffic between Florence and
Bologna, affecting connections between the north and south of
the country.
In the derailment, the coach hit some poles holding cables that
feed trains with electricity.
There was damage but no one was hurt, the rail network said
As a result services are subject to cancellation, delays of up
two three hours and re-routing.
