[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 596121, member: 175144"] Local to me, earlier on this month [I]A 20-YEAR-OLD male sustained serious head injuries after apparently "surfing" on top of a train. Emergency services were called to Walton station shortly before 8am after reports of an injured man on top of the 0732 Woking to Waterloo service. The guard ordered the passengers off the 12-carriage train to allow paramedics to attend to the man. He was taken by ambulance to St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey. One man who was travelling on the London-bound train said: "The staff told us to get off the train and then the platform. "I heard that there was someone surfing on top of the train. "I didn’t see anyone up there but I saw members of the emergency services go up." A spokesman for British Transport Police said the incident was currently being treated as "unexplained". "Officers are working to establish how the man came about his injuries and are currently conducting further enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident," he said. Trains were disrupted on the line up to London, with an average delay of 15 minutes to services. A South West Train’s spokesman said: "We apologise to passengers who experienced delays this morning while the emergency services dealt with the incident."[/I] [/QUOTE]
