Train fire?

[466.networkers]

Hi

Just been on the Southeastern website, apparantly there was a fire on a train earlier, possibly around Charing Cross as there are still delays from there. Has anyone heard about this or any more details? A quick Google was fruitless I'm afraid.

Thanks in advance.

couldn't tell you - at least it's not the east midlands loosing a train this time

As far as I know there was a lineside fire close to London Bridge station, and the 17:03 Brighton to Bedford service was stood near the fire for quite some time (hours rather than minutes).

I think this is what the OP is on about.

Thanks for the link David.
Most likely a FCC 319 me thinks.
Nasty, especially the abusive passengers.

Lock people up for 3 hours and the chances are they might not be too happy...

If it was a Bedford - Brighton service, it has to be a 319.
