    Rumours circulating that a train has divided at Llangollen Railway and that services are caped for rest of day. Fire brigade said to be in attendance to evacuate train. Anyone know any more?
    I'm off down to Llangollen now to see if I can see anything.

    A train division happened around 10:40, and was reported by the railway to the ORR and RAIB. No-one was hurt.

    Correct. However, in the absence of further facts, shall we create a first for an internet forum, and refrain from speculation?
