Andrew Johnson, who drove the London-bound LNER train where 10 people were stabbed, told Cambridge Crown Court he first thought a door alarm was someone messing around. He then heard a voice on the intercom screaming about a knifeman, and switched to the slow line to reach Huntingdon. Anthony Williams, 33, from Peterborough, faces charges for 10 attempted murders on the train, which he disputes.
