The building was said to be well alight. The fire service said five crews attended.

Fire officers had to use the Gardener's Arms pub to access the fire. It is not thought that anyone was hurt in the blaze.

Fire officers confirmed that the blaze had been brought under control and rail services were back to normal by 1700 GMT.
