A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an explosive material near a railway station.

A 19-year-old man who lived on the road was detained.

Trains running through the area ground to a halt for about 30 minutes.

The man was held on suspicion of possessing an explosive material for an unlawful purpose.
