Eyewitness Sarah McMullan said she saw smoke coming from a toilet at the station's car-park. | |
"You don't think much of it when there's a little bit of smoke and police already there, but then we were evacuated," she said. | |
"It was pretty frightening to see how quickly a fire can grow. You can see billowing smoke and flames above the roof on the far side." | |
Dr Remigius Llione, 49, said: "I drove into the car park and I could already hear the fire alarm. | |
"The smoke was so thick that you could not see in front of you." | |
