Train Passengers Witness Fire in Abandoned ClubTrain Passengers Witness Fire in Abandoned Club Train passengers disembarking at Selby railway station witnessed a disturbing sight on Monday evening: a fire raging in an abandoned club. The incident occurred around 8:57 p.m. at the Selby Railway Club on Station Road. According to a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, numerous calls were received from passengers reporting a blaze on the roof of the former railway staff social club. The Selby fire crew promptly responded and extinguished a wooden pole that had caught fire on the roof of the derelict building. The investigation revealed that the fire had been deliberately set by children. North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service strongly condemns such reckless behavior, which poses a significant safety hazard to the community. The building, known as the Selby Railway Club, was once a popular gathering place for railway staff. However, it has since fallen into disrepair and has been abandoned for several years. The fire caused further damage to the building, and the site remains cordoned off as investigations continue. Authorities urge members of the public to report any suspicious activity around abandoned buildings or property. Arson is a serious crime with significant consequences, both for the individuals responsible and for the community as a whole.
