Firefighters have contained a large fire that spread through a bus station.

At 01:52 BST on Saturday, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) was called to a blaze across the whole roof of Slough bus station.

The cause of the fire is unknown but Tim Readings, group manager for RBFRS, said the blaze is "mostly out".

He said the fire was 20m by 40m in scale and six engines were there to manage the damage.
