If that really happened then the driver was not very attentitive or the CCTV
at that location is poor making the Train Operator not be able to see what
was happenning. I've never been there, but that sounds like a Big gap,
rather like the one at bank, or you may just be very Slim!

From what I can see of the aerial photo on Multimap, it looks like a
straight platform. Perhaps dj152 could explain how this happened?

As I caught my breath and got ready to haul
myself out he started pulling away.

The driver should have seen you and stopped. There is definitely a safety
issue here that needs to be reported and possibly addressed.

Well it was my fault I guess. Basically I got to the station and saw a train
pulling up on the other side. I felt ambitious; put my travelcard card through
and sprinted along the platform, up over the bridge and down onto the other
platform.. as i ran toward the doors they closed... realising my defeat i tried
to stop myself.. (the rest i can't rmemeber greatly as it all happened so
quick)...

but I THINK as I was running I tried to stop myself by placing my left leg out
in front of me.. but rather than it landing on the platform it landed on the
space between the train and platform! So then I disappeared hehe.. with my leg
down their my right knee smashed into the floor (ouch) and I held myself up
with my left hand on the train!. As I caught my breath and got ready to haul
myself out he started pulling away. Pretty terrifying but I climbed out. No
tragedy...

On reflection, it's all my fault. hehe. Not much to tell the manager about..

Totally agree. The driver has cameras/monitors and/or mirrors to ensure
that no-one is trapped in the doors or between the train and the platform.
