A person has died after being hit by a steam engine, becoming the first such public rail fatality in nearly 60 years.
The accident happened when a person reportedly walked off the platform at Hanwell station in west London, in front of a steam train that was set to run a special Remembrance Day service.
The engine, No 34028 Eddystone, was hauling an empty train from Southall depot to London Victoria before an excursion to Canterbury to commemorate Armistice Day when it hit the person shortly after 6am.
