The woman was dragged along a platform after getting her hand stuck in train doors.

Despite being uninjured, the Rail Accident Investigation Branch , which is investigating what happened, said the woman was forced to run alongside the train for around 20 metres before the driver saw her on the train’s external CCTV and brought the eight-carriage train to a halt.

The commuter had initially planned to board the rear of the train but decided, at the last minute, to run up the platform to find a seat nearer the front of the train, the paper added. A statement from the group said: “At around 8.20am on 14 January 2022, a passenger attempted to board a train which was about to leave Wood Street station. As they did so the train’s doors closed, leaving the passenger standing outside the train, on the platform, with their hand trapped in the rear doors of the fourth car.

It added: “The train’s doors were then released, allowing the passenger to free their hand. It was reported that the passenger did not sustain any injuries because of the incident.”
