LONDON - A series of small explosions near a train station in Cheshire in northwest England injured two people, local media reported on Wednesday.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed a man and a woman were hurt after the explosions near Crewe railway station, which was closed for a time after the incidents.

The man and woman were being treated for minor arm and facial injuries at Crewe Hospital, the service said.

Quoting a statement of British Transport Police, BBC reported a faulty underground electrical cable was believed to have caused the blasts.

"The cause is not yet established but it is believed it may have been a combination of gas and electric under ground cables," a spokesman of the British Transport Police said.

Meanwhile, a Cheshire police spokesman said "at this time police have no information to suggest anything suspicious has happened."
