About 50 passengers had to be evacuated from a train carriage after engine components caught fire.

Firefighters were called to the train, which had come to a stop in Willaston, Cheshire, at about 10:20 BST.

Crewe firefighters said the passengers were "not in any danger" but had to get off at a crossing and the brigade could not account for their onward travel.

They said they believed it was an Arriva service and the firm has been approached for comment.
