A 12-year-old girl's arm, severed by a high-speed train, has been re-attached by surgeons.

Rebecca Huitson was at a level crossing near Newcastle when hit by the Edinburgh to London train on Monday. Her left arm was found nearby and taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, where the operation took place.

She faces further surgery today.
