Three British nationals were among those killed in the Lisbon funicular crash, Portuguese police have said. A total of 16 people died when the popular tourist attraction derailed in the centre of the city on Wednesday night. They were five Portuguese nationals, three British citizens, two Canadians, two South Koreans, one American, one French, one Swiss and one Ukrainian. The Gloria funicular, which is 140-years-old, was packed with passengers when it came off the rails. The Gloria funicular features two separate yellow carriages which travel between Restauradores Square in central Lisbon and the Bairro Alto area, with journeys taking three minutes.
