I think that BMqpr is on the money here.

Arcs from the third rail pickup definitely cause flashes like this. If the clouds are low level then the affect can be quite striking. If there is ice about then this only amplifies it due to the top pickup arrangement. (A poor choice made when the Southern Railway was formed - we are still suffering from this - the LBSC had the right idea).
