Suffolk rail services disrupted by Claydon fire Suffolk rail services resume after fire at Claydon
(about 7 hours later)
A fire outside a recycling centre is causing major disruption to rail services through Suffolk. Rail services through Suffolk are expected to resume after a fire near a railway line caused major disruption.
About 20 firefighters are at Claydon business park near Ipswich. Trains between Ipswich and Stowmarket were suspended after a fire at a recycling centre in Claydon earlier melted overhead cables near the site.
Suffolk Fire Service said it believed the fire had melted cables, which were affecting train services between Norwich and London. Network Rail said the line would reopen at 16:00 GMT and an investigation into the cause of the fire is under way.
National Express East Anglia said all services between Ipswich and Stowmarket had been suspended until further notice. Buses replaced trains between Stowmarket and Ipswich while crews fought the fire.
Passengers travelling to and from London and Norwich are being re-routed via Cambridge. About 20 firefighters were called to Bolton Brothers paper and recycling centre at 05:06 GMT on Thursday to tackle the blaze, which had begun outside the plant.
Station commander Ian Mallet said crews arrived at Bolton Brothers paper and recycling centre shortly after 05:30 GMT. Station commander Ian Mallet from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said CCTV footage from the recycling centre would be studied to find how the fire began.
He said: "It's a variety of recycling material, which involves paper and plastic - it glues together and causes the crew some issues in extinguishing the fire. Arson was one of the avenues being investigated, he said.
"The overhead power cables on the rail track failed due to the heat from the fire and ended up on the floor, which caused an additional hazard for the crews."
Reuben Bolton, commercial director for the company, said he arrived at the scene shortly after the fire service.
"As I approached the depot the flames were well above the warehouse," he said.
"We've never had a fire since 1969 when we started, so it's a real concern."
