Shocked commuters saw a man survive being hit by a train on Valentine’s Day. The man was hit by a train at Surbiton station after falling into the tracks just after 6pm.
Both paramedics, Metropolitan Police officers and British Transport Police (BTP) were called to the rush-hour scene. A BTP spokesman said the man suffered a bump to his head and was taken to hospital.
A spokesman for South West Trains said the line was closed for 10 or 15 minutes and delays to the service were minimal.
