It looks rather like smoke or fire damage to the platform canopy, but not in the right place as the errant power car is clearly further away from the camera than the canopy.
Has something else caught fire recently ?

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Just carbon deposits from the exhausts of countless High Speed Train ( HST▸ ) power cars stopping at the same spot Edit: VickiS - Clarifying Acronym |

We need a new thread for train failure  ? Due to a broken down train between Swindon and Bristol Parkway the Bristol Parkway bound line is blocked. Impact: Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until 09:30 13/06. Customer Advice: Due to a fault on a train just West of Swindon services towards Bristol Parkway and West Wales & Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads will be delayed. |

1C89 suffered a flash over and resulting fire in the power car at Hayes and Harlington
1Y70 has been declared a complete failure just outside Heathrow tunnel.
For the record. Here's the recalcitrant power car after it skulked back into Paddington before going to Old Oak Common. (Not a lot to see - but a lot of people thought it was going to be their train home and queued next to it - only to see it leave empty)  Was a refurbished alternator as well that went up in smoke. |

It can't have been particularly well refurbished! |

Could be nasty, hope no-one is injured...............
Due to an obstruction on the track between Castle Cary and Taunton all lines are blocked.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until 13:45 13/06.
Customer Advice
This is due to a train having hit a tree.
South West Trains are conveying passengers between Westbury and Exeter St Davids via Yeovil Bus Station in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

Minor damage to the nose cone and to the lifeguard. It's the damaged lifeguard which is preventing the train from being moved |
