| Station reopens after major fire | |
| (about 3 hours later) | |
| Cambridge railway station has reopened after a major fire nearby forced it to close, affecting services. | |
| The fire started in the early hours of Saturday at the disused Spillers site where two buildings were alight. | |
| More than 70 firefighters tackled the fire and a spokesman said there were fears the buildings could collapse. | |
| Ana Vujisic, who lives nearby, said: "I was woken up by an explosion as our whole building shock when the roof of the Mill collapsed." | |
| Cambridge railway station and Station Road were shut for a time and rail services were not stopping in the city while firefighters tackled the blaze. | |

| Cambridge assistant chief fire officer Neil Newberry said earlier: "There were two buildings heavily involved - the heat was quite intense coming off the buildings. | |
| "There were 40-50ft high flames you could see leaping out into the sky so it was quite an impressive sight. | |
| "The fire is almost out in both buildings, but the bigger problem was fear of collapse. We were expecting the building to collapse. | |
| "One of the buildings is still very precarious, still very unsafe." | |
| There is no indication at this stage as to the cause of the fire. |
