You wanted this one

<https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24009773.poole-park-railway-derails-carrying-passengers/>

The line hasn’t had a lot of luck since it was originally closed due to
being worn out. The company who rebuilt for the Council who had taken it
back from the previous operators it went bust just before it reopened and
although the track had been replaced they had to scramble to find a
locomotive that should have been supplied.
Been a couple of derailments since which some blame on the local scrotes
piling ballast on the rails,
there seems to be a surplus of ballast available around the track so
perhaps tidying to a sensible level was one of the jobs not completed by
the contractor.
OTOH the latest was a trailing carriage, there are suggestions that while
providing covered coaches might be nice to keep rain off compared to the
older open ones they are more top heavy and the strong winds recently may
have caused one to blow over.
