Listener Harry called from the scene after witnessing the crash.

“There was an almighty bang. We turned around in time to see the train, it was rolling backwards, probably a good carriage length. It had rebounded.

“Huge amount of dust. There’d be some injuries for sure. It really did hit hard, I’ve never seen one like it.”

“There’s a triage area set up in the park. A second helicopter has just arrived.
