I was on that train and just got back from an abortive trip to Chichester.
There's a pretty shitty follow-up to that incident. While the conductor was trying to sort out the signalman, the driver, the emergency services and the passengers, some low-life chancer went into the conductors box at the back of the train then, according to the conductor, rifled through the conductors bag. The vermin then jumped down onto the track from the door to the conductors box, despite a trackside rail worker telling him it was far too dangerous, then stomped off about twenty yards down the track before legging it over somebody's back garden fence. Total scum!

They were saying that he was leaning over the edge of the platform and the train hit his head

Wouldn't have thought so, else they'd have jumped. Probably another example of the innate stupidity that seems to go with the turf on that stretch of line.

Ok i'll be the first to say it. Leaning over the platform? Stupidity just ruined your entire day.

In the majority of cases the head becomes detached from the rest of the body if swiped at high speed or at a lesser speed the whole body gets mangled under the wheels.
