...and NXEA goes for another rebrand by the way this reads!

Man slips under train at station
A passenger slipped on the platform at a railway station in Suffolk after a downpour of rain and fell under a train during the evening rush hour.

The train was stationary on a branch line at Ipswich station and the man suffered only minor injuries, a British Transport Police spokeswoman said.

"It was a station accident and not a deliberate action," she added.

The man was taken to Ipswich Hospital by ambulance for a check-up after Suffolk firefighters rescued him.

A spokeswoman from train operator First East Anglia said: "We are pleased the man only suffered minor injuries.

"It took the emergency services about 45 minutes to rescue him and none of our services was affected."

I'm sure that members of the media must search this website for their reports, to make sure we haven't picked up on any errors which they've made on the original published report...
