RMweb Premium jessy1692 Posted April 15, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2016 http://m.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/train-catches-fire-on-knaresborough-viaduct-1-7854364Morning 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.CheersJames Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Possibly, it looks like it only got back to Starbeck..... an hour late. And doesn't look to have got back to Leeds as planned. Dumped in the sidings at Harrogate maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
