Thats the place, we passed it 7mins after the call out happened, and as u can just see was well under way, the train stopped just before the station and i heard the radio going, as you came round the bend coming into the station you could see the flames...Sadly ill not get a chance to get a pic today as i wont pass it until about 10pm tonight

Tobe could you confirm if this is fact Regarding the vote on industrial action. 86% of staff voted 83% voted for action. Pretty overwhelming I think.
Thank you. And why not.
