Fire, sparks and smoke fly from train

It's something no rail commuter wants to see – flames and smoke flying from their train.

Not only did one London passenger witness exactly that – he even filmed it.

Dave Dalrymple-Pryde captured the moment sparks began shooting out from beneath his train as it pulled into Denmark Hill station in London's south last night.

In the video, bright flicks of fire can be seen spurting up from the tracks and licking the window of the train.

The London Fire Brigade were called in and ended up evacuating all those on board.

A spokesperson said no one was injured in the incident and that an investigation on the cause of the fire is current being carried out.
