More details have been revealed about a railway wagon belonging to a York-based firm found buried in Belgium.

The former LNER storage wagon was found by archaeologists in Antwerp.

LNER said the archaeologists found it under a wall of an old fortress known as the Northern Citadel from the 19th century.

Consultant archaeologist Femke Martens said the wooden wagon was thought to be 100 years old.

“It’s a mystery as to how the carriage came to be in Antwerp, and unfortunately there’s very little left of the relic as it disintegrated while being excavated,” she said.
