A fire ignited near railway tracks in the London Paddington vicinity on Saturday, causing significant disruption across the UK’s rail network. The incident prompted the evacuation of hundreds of passengers from affected trains and led to the cancellation of all services operating between Paddington and Heathrow Airport.
National Rail confirmed that the blaze resulted in a failure of the electricity supply, which blocked every line connecting Paddington to the airport. The outage persisted through the afternoon, leaving travelers stranded and causing widespread delays throughout the network.
