Quote A commuter train has reportedly ploughed into the buffers at Victoria station causing a long bang and smoke on a platform. Pictures from the busy station at rush hour on Wednesday shows staff crowding around a Southern Rail train at around 6pm. One person wrote on Twitter: “Train just crashed into the buffers at Victoria station. Loud band, lots of smoke and dust.” Another said: “It was so loud I thought it might be a train crashing into the buffers, turns out I was right!” “The train I was on dramatically crashed into the barrier at Victoria station,” one passenger wrote.
