Thanks Gents. posting and reading here is helping as well. Had a rough nights sleep as it was hard to get that image out of my mind.

Same here. The driver must be feeling far worse than anyone else involved and he'd also have to go though the full investigation etc. as well. the staff on the station platform swung into action very quickly and the response was pretty quick by the emergency services as well.
I hope it wasn't bookworm_020. I know he's a train driver here in Sydney whcih reminds me, has anyone heard from him recently. Don't recall seeing any posts from him in a while.

Roger that mate. It's good to be alive and have loved ones about to comfort you. The alternative is not very attractive.

Both sights were very un-nerveing.
Everytime I cross that crossing I kind of flash back somewhat.
I try to avoid going that way if at all possible to this day.
I also can not go down the female products isle at stores any longer!

I'm now not sure which image in my mind is more disturbing.
Anyway thanks for the support gents.
