Police and fire crews were sent to the scene
A fire which caused passengers to evacuate a station near Manchester is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault. Plumes of smoke could be seen at Wilmslow station last night after a train caught fire.
A Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "A single carriage of a train was on fire in Wilmslow. Police and Network Rail were also in attendance. "A full evacuation of the train was carried out and firefighters used hose reel jets to extinguish the fire. A thermal imaging camera was used to check for further hotspots and the carriage was dampened down and made safe.
"As we got off everyone seemed confused until we saw the large amount of smoke coming from the rear carriage," he said. "We were told to wait on the platform whilst they figured out what to do with us, however as the smoke began to take over the station, multiple fire engines and police cars arrived and evacuated us from the station.
