Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) are in attendance at an incident at Liverpool Lime Street train station in Liverpool City Centre on the afternoon of Saturday 19th July.
Crews were alerted at 12.54 and on scene at 12.56 with three fire engines and the search and rescue team attending.
This was in response to reports of fire under a stationary train. All persons have been removed from the train safely, there are no signs of smoke or fire.
The train was isolated and disconnected from liver overhead lines, with a stop in place on lines 9 and 10. While all other lines remain operational.
MFRS crews monitored temperatures of the train externally and following further investigation it was identified that the boiler in one of the train carriages had tripped. Firefighters continued to monitor conditions at scene, checking for any signs of electrical burning, with no visible signs of smoke or fire.
Multi agency meeting between MFRS, Network Rail, Avanti Trains, and the Lime Street Station Manager have taken place. The train will remain isolated in situ while maintenance is undertaken before the vehicle is removed from the platform.
MFRS crews will be leaving scene shortly, following an external handover.
