I've heard very un-descriptive reports that a train collided into another this morning at St. David’s.

As far as I can understand and presume from my knowledge of the station/workings that a SWT 159 was moving off the yard to platform 1 and somehow in the process shunted the rear of either another 159 or 150/142 etc.
Apparently, from an unknown source, of which my Dad spoke too, the train hit the stationary one’ at approx 20mph, 5 were taken to hospital for bumps and scratches but nothing major? (My Dad works at the hospital)

I haven't heard anything on the local news this morning, I was just wondering if anyone else knew any different?

Any info appreciated
Many thanks, :)

Heard nothing about it, according to NR everything is running on time in the EXD area.

Yeah, I've not heard anything *today* but last night 142029 went into the back of 159010/022 on Plaform 1. The 159s were forming the 1926 to Waterloo. Follow the link that was posted by Royston Vasey - that's what I knew...
