A man and a woman have been injured after a series of small explosions near Crewe railway station, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

Manhole covers were blown off in the incident on Nantwich Road. The injured pair have been taken to hospital suffering from burns.

A faulty underground electrical cable is believed to have caused the blasts.

The station was closed for a time but a Virgin Trains spokesman said it had since reopened.
