Powys train crash: Shocked passenger reports collision

A passenger on the Shrewsbury-bound train said he felt “very shocked” by the incident.

Anthony Hurford told BBC Breakfast it was “brutal”.

“Just going from, I don’t know how fast we were going, maybe 40, 50, 60 miles an hour, to nothing in the blink of an eye.

“Somehow my body bent a table leg and ripped it off the screws attached to the wall.”

Hurford said the train attempted to stop at the traffic light but did not stop “for whatever reason.”
