Does anyone know whether there were any problems at Retford station on Thursday evening and if so, what happend?
The reason I ask is that a couple of my Facebook friends reported fire engines there and said that a train was on fire. I know this is a very unreliable source (the friends aren't rail enthusiasts and would probably assume that a train was on fire if they saw a fire engine at the station!).
I wondered whether anyone had heard of anything. Unfortunately, I don't know what time the incident occurred, but my Uncle travelled from Kings Cross to Retford that afternoon, and everything was fine then.
On a side note from that, did a Grand Central train stop at Retford that afternoon? My Grandad (who was picking my Uncle up) was certain it was a black train that he got off. He then said that the train was for Hull. I told him Hull Trains are purple, but he was adamant it was black.
