Title: Man dies after being hit by train at Dilton Marsh - 18 October 2010 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 19, 2010, 11:54:54 From the Wiltshire Times (http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/latestheadlines/8460104.Man_dies_after_being_hit_by_train_at_Dilton_Marsh/):
Quote A man died yesterday evening after being struck by a train as it went through Dilton Marsh station. He was hit by the 22.23pm Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central train just after 10pm. Emergency services were called to the scene and the man was kept alive for about an hour. The Wiltshire Air Ambulance was scrambled but the man died before he could be airlifted. Passengers on the train had to use taxis to continue their journey as the line was blocked for several hours.
