LONDON -- A train full of commuters got a surprise near the end of rush hour Wednesday when their train caught fire.

Passengers were evacuated from the Southeastern Railway train, but not before passenger Dave Dalrymple-Pryde captured the whole event in a series of Vines.

“We were coming into the station. There was a bit of smoke and some flames, it was really hot by the window," Dalrymple-Pryde told the Evening Standard.

“When it got into the station smoke was going into the carriage - everyone moved up towards the door. Someone shouted ‘Don’t run out of that door’."

Denmark Hill Station, where the train was approaching when the incident happened, was closed for a time yesterday evening, but has since re-opened.
