Will be intrigued to find out how the chap came to be on the railway with his legs under a train....
The HST must have nearly been at a stand to have not killed him surely?

The newspapers make it look like an accident, well if you try to run from platform 5 to platform 4 via the track then you may well get hit by a train!!!!!

Trains aren't going at all fast through Plymouth anyway so it was a suicide attempt.
