BBC5 Live presenter Clare McDonnell reported seeing white flashes on the outside of the carriage next to hers as the train pulled in at Gatwick Airport station.
“Announcements were made to get off the train and off the platform. Things were calm at first but then staff started to raise their voices to get people to understand the urgency of the situation.
“The fire, as you can see in the video, is under the train but I’m not sure at this stage if that’s where it started.
