Train evacuated after engine fire

Passengers were evacuated after an early morning fire in a train engine, which led to delays in services between Cardiff and Newport.

Firefighters were called to the scene near Cardiff Docks at 0645 BST.

The fire had already been extinguished by the train's automatic system, and nobody was injured during the blaze.

The line closed between Cardiff Central and Newport in both directions but has now reopened. Trains were delayed for up to 40 minutes until 1000 BST.
