br2975 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks a bit dramatic http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2758452/What-blazes-One-Britain-s-best-loved-steam-trains-appears-fire-trick-light-passes-Devon-tracks.html Discussed previously http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/90334-those-lovely-shiny-steam-engines/ Unusual for the 'Daily Wail' to feature an article that doesn't relate to (i) asylum seekers (ii) immigration (iii) police incompetence (iv) villains getting off (v) the death penalty or (vi) bashing either 'Johnny Foreigner' in general or the EU in particular.

roythebus Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If there was no fire, how did it continue "at speeds of 75mph"? bit like the rpoert elsewhere on here few years ago of a Stanstead Express driver reporting to Control "train on fire going the other way".

cromptonnut Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 There was a delay at Exeter causing this particular service to leave 20 minutes late but that was due to a passenger being taken ill, according to discussions on various Facebook groups where this video was also doing the rounds. Nothing happened to the loco and the crew were fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
