Station customer services assistant Olivia Timms, who saw the incident, said:"I think the fact a train came through the station at speed just seconds after emphasised just how awful the outcome could have been."We know that travelling with children can be challenging. Navigating buggies and luggage through a busy station can be stressful.
"So, we want to make sure parents and carers are aware of the services we have available which can make their journey with us smoother and safer."Thankfully, they only resulted in minor physical injuries, but some could have had a much more serious outcome.A child is then seen falling through the gap between the train and the platform next to a station guard.In another incident, a baby falls backwards out of a buggy when boarding a train at Newcastle Central station.
