A steam train that featured in many Harry Potter film scenes has been taken out of service due to fears over safety

An iconic train that featured in some of the Harry Potter films’ most notable scenes has been cancelled over safety concerns.

Concerns have been raised over issues with the locking of the doors. This issue may pose grave danger to people on the train as they may fall out of the carriages, or get hit whilst leaning out of the windows.

Called the Jacobite, the train was set to resume after being closedsince last weekend, but an unannounced visit by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) inspection team found issues of concern.
