Witnesses: The incident occurred near Lostock Hall railway station, just outside Preston
TRAINS and electrical cables were damaged earlier this month after a paving stone was thrown from a rail over road bridge.
The stone was thrown overnight on Saturday June 5 from a bridge near Lostock Hall railway station just outside Preston.
A total of nine passing trains were damaged which, along with the damaged electrical cables, led to just under £20,000 lost in disruption costs.
British Transport Police are now appealing for witnesses to help them find the culprit.
