Also. Sorry. Couldn’t get my phone to record in landscape. I will take cameraman lessons straightaway

There was definitely a very loud bang and a huge cloud of Grey smoke. I was on the train in the car behind the car where it happened. Almost sure it was something electrical and probably on the track or under the train not inside the train. I heard the conductor say it was a bomb. Was pretty sure it wasn’t
