Boy hit by train Shrewsbury 30 Jan

[PHILIPE]

Can't see that this has been reported, but a 14 year old boy was hit by a train at Harlescott Crossing (just north of Shrewsbury) at 0533 on Monday, 30th January. He was taken to hospital but sadly passed away due to his injuries.
The train appears to have been 1V31 0450 Crewe to Milford Haven.
Thoughts with driver, family and all others involved.

Front page of tonight's Shropshire Star - its a full barrier crossing Harlsecott.

I'd have thought that at that time of morning, it was more likely to be someone suffering from some kind of stress or other mental issue rather than a ne'er-do-weller out for kicks. RIP and thoughts with family, driver, etc.

Thoughts are with the boys family and the Staff/ Emergency services involved in this incident

Very sad. My thoughts go out to all affected - especially the family of the deceased - at this tragic time.
