Passengers force open train doors

Passengers have forced open the doors of a train after it broke down near a Cambridgeshire village station.

The First Capital Connect Service to Cambridge from King’s Cross, stopped outside Foxton, near Cambridge, shortly before 1700 BST.

About 15 people broke open the doors and walked along the track to the station.

The remaining passengers are waiting to be collected. British Transport Police have been called to the scene.

A spokesman for First Capital Connect said problems with overhead power cables stopped the train, which also called at Hertfordshire.
