East Midlands Railway (EMR) has apologised after an air conditioning problem on its new Aurora trains caused water to drip onto passengers. A commuter reported paying over £127 for a round-trip rail fare between London and Derby on Thursday, adding that it was "raining" inside her carriage. EMR confirmed a fault with the air conditioning was the cause and is investigating a permanent fix.
