    Huge fire in Wing leaves toxic clouds over WCML

    I wasn't using the WCML but could see a huge plume of smoke and was curious as to where it came from. I searched on Bucks Fire but to no avail. Thanks for shedding some light on it.

    If it counts, you can still do so on the Tyne and Wear Metro, Copenhagen Metro and possibly some ICE trains in Germany (albeit with a clear screen behind te driver on the ICE trains)
