Knaresborough Viaduct Tamper Fire


Recommended Posts

http://m.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/train-catches-fire-on-knaresborough-viaduct-1-7854364
Morning all just woke up to see this on Look North and a story on the local rag's site.
Just wondering if anyone knows what caught fire as i know no passenger units are around at that time but i did see an MPV, 66 186 on a short ballast and a tamper head to Knaresborough last night. The tamper came through after the ballast train about 11 so i think it could be the casualty, thankfully no one hurt but sounds serious to have Knaresborough and Harrogate other fire engines out.
Any info most appreciated.
Cheers
James
