Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, outside the hospital, Stacey said: “No one here had serious injuries, all what we would describe as minor injuries, what is better understood by the public as ‘walking wounded’.”

She confirmed injuries were predominantly soft tissue, all of the passengers who came to SDH were adult, minus two under 18-years-old.

The one passenger who remains at the hospital is male. The train driver is at another hospital.

"This was something our team was able to deal with quite quickly, so the mood of the hospital today is back to business as usual," added the hospital CEO. 

“You will know the NHS, ourselves included, is in a period of really busy times anyway, but we are grateful to play our part.

“I am always confident that when something tragic like this happens, we are always in a position to respond, and that was definitely the case last night.

“I am predominantly grateful that there were not too many serious injuries.”
