Downton rail stock trashed

VANDALS wrecked vintage train carriages used on Downton Abbey.

The eight teak coaches, dating from 1930 to 1950, were targeted in the early hours of yesterday.

They were in a siding in Pickering, North Yorkshire.

The carriages run on the North York Moors Railway, whose manager Chris Price said: “They had windows smashed and furniture ruined.”

Volunteers on the line say it’s unlikely the coaches will run again this year.
