A fire at a Suffolk railway station restaurant has led to the cancellation of train services across two counties.
Fire crews were called at about midnight to Oulton Broad North station in Lowestoft, where they found the roof on fire at an Indian restaurant situated on the platform.
Greater Anglia said the "serious fire" had caused "severe damage to a building at the station", leading to services being cancelled between Lowestoft, Norwich, and Ipswich.
Crews managed to extinguish the blaze by 06:00 BST, but remained at the scene to tackle any hot spots.
Roads around the station have been reopened, but fire crews have asked residents to avoid the area if possible.
Network Rail said disruption on the trains was expected until about 10:00.
Suffolk Police and the East of England Ambulance Service also attended the scene, but the fire service said no injuries were reported.
