Between 1999 and 2004 I commuted via Milton Keynes rather than Northampton. Virgin Trains had dropped all the tedious pick up/set down only stuff at MK and went full tonto for a share of the season ticket revenue.
A few people got dropped off on the A5 immediately west of the station and used an engineers access down to track level immediately north of the then down fast platform. One of them lost his footing on the steps and was taken out by a northbound Class 87 + Mk3 rake.
A lot of the Thames Valley Police's finest standing around in the sunshine waiting for RAIB, coroner's officer etc to attend.
