A person has died after being hit by a steam locomotive at Hanwell station in west London, believed to be the first such death on Britain's public railway since British Rail retired steam in 1968. The engine, 34028 Eddystone, was heading empty to London Victoria to collect passengers for a £115 Remembrance Day trip through Kent, which was cancelled. Police said it was not suspicious.
