L'Huffington Post - News, inchieste e approfondimenti HuffPost: Grosso incendio alla stazione centrale di Glasgow

Un video amatoriale mostra due fitte colonne di fumo che escono da un edificio accanto alla stazione centrale di Glasgow, in Gran Bretagna. Era appena scoppiato intorno alle 16 di ieri l'incendio in un negozio di sigarette elettroniche nei pressi dello scalo ferroviario che ha paralizzato le linee. La National Rail ha dichiarato in un post su X che si prevedono problemi fino a questa sera. Le fiamme si sono propagate molto rapidamente nei piani superiori dell’edificio, costruito nel 1851, che è parzialmente collassato. Ieri sera erano almeno 60 i pompieri che provavano a spegnere l’incendio

Large fire at Glasgow Central Station

A home video shows two dense columns of smoke coming from a building next to Glasgow Central Station in the UK. The fire in an e-cigarette shop near the railway terminal, which broke out around 4 PM yesterday, has paralyzed the lines. National Rail posted on X stating that problems are expected until this evening. The flames spread rapidly through the upper floors of the building, built in 1851, which has partially collapsed. At least 60 firefighters were trying to extinguish the fire last night.

The class 458 train is another favourite of mine. The leg space they have is just perfect!

I find it quite surprising that there are level crossings in UK where trains are almost 125 mph fast (I measured 117 mph = 188 km/h). Aren't there any safety concerns?

Location: East Coast Main Line, Bathley Lane north of Newark.

My face became 😯 when I passed the crossing and opened OsmAnd quickly to the current speed of the train.

I thought "nationalisation" meant "improvement". Looking at SWR service I start to doubt it.

I'm taking back my words about SWR getting better after nationalising. The number of cancelled trains and skipped stops significantly increased.
