Rail Investigators Warn First On Dangers Of Driver Only Operation Trains
« on: May 01, 2007, 12:25:55 PM »

First Capital Connect has been told to review driver training after a man suffered serious arm injuries when his coat got caught in the doors of a train as it pulled out of Huntingdon station (link below.)

The man , who was in his 40s but not named by police , needed surgery after being dragged onto the track at Huntingdon in February last year.

A report by the RAIB said the man had been standing on the edge of a platform after waving a passenger off when he was hurt.

Investigators said the train was operated by the driver and had no additional staff.
