Train Collision - Exeter St Davids

[visibleimagery]

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,

No reports anywhere, everything running on time.

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...
