Another fire in a power car at about midnight. Reported on RMweb as 43181 (Devonport Royal Dockyard 1693-1993). I was at the naming 25 years ago!

Only a small fire confined to the battery box of the power car. Driver done especially well stopping the train in a great location giving firefighters easy access and also preventing the need for the station to be evacuated
