PROBLEMS with a ‘dragging brake’ on a train in the Bromley South area caused delays for commuters this morning.
Passengers travelling on the service from London Victoria to Orpington at around 8.45am were evacuated at Bromley South and the train was taken out of service.
This caused around a 10 minute delay on some services but they have now been returned to normal.
One woman who called the paper from the station says she believed the problem was due to a fire underneath a train carriage.
A Southeastern trains spokeswoman says there may have been a burning smell or the smell of smoke caused by the brake dragging on the track.
