The victim, believed to be in her 70s, was treated at the scene for head injuries Ealing Broadway station.

A witness who asked not to be named, said he was on the other side of the platform when she was hit by the fast-moving overground train which was not stopping at the station.

He said: "I heard a loud bang and tuned around and then I saw something on the platform.

"I didn't realise it was a person until I got closer and then ran quickly to alert staff and called an ambulance.

"She was bleeding quite heavily from her face but she was breathing. The train had stopped further down the track.

"It was a shock. I'm just glad to hear she wasn't more seriously hurt."

Four ambulances, medics in a motorbike and one in a car as well as the team from London's air ambulance in a car were sent at about 4.10pm.

She was taken to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington by ambulance escorted by a doctor from the air ambulance.

Her injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

The station was closed for about half an hour.

British Transport Police are still the cause of the accident but say they are not treating it as suspicious.

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I
need some advice from an established blog.

Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about
making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my
own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something
unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
