I was on a Merseyrail train this morning at Ormskirk and a driver and two per-way guys were talking about it when the driver changed ends. The link above to the report is more or less what they said. Tragic story and one wonders what she was thinking getting off at James Street while her friends were still on train, I assume she probably got on the station before at Central, and thought they had gone under the Mersey and reached Hamilton Square in Birkenhead. We will never know. Merseyrail run nearly 800 trains per weekday and according to reports this the first such incident they have had.
