Two track workers had to dive out of the way to avoid being hit by a high-speed train last month, it has emerged.

Neither of the two workers was injured when the train passed at 2350hrs on 12 December last year at an undisclosed location.

The train had been travelling at 101mph (162kmh) at the time of the incident, according to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB).
