Infant Injured After Pram Rolls Into Moving Train at Banbury Station

The incident occurred when the baby's parent briefly released the pram, leading to a minor head injury for the child.

A two-month-old baby suffered a minor head injury when their pram rolled into a train traveling at 35mph at Banbury station.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) report indicates the parent momentarily let go of the pram, causing it to roll towards the platform edge.
CCTV footage showed the parent was in close proximity to the pram until shortly before the incident, when they turned to face a relative.
The slight slope of the platform was not apparent to the parent, contributing to the accident as the pram was unbraked.
Following the incident, Chiltern Railways installed additional safety signage to prevent similar occurrences, emphasizing customer vigilance on platforms.
