Dominic Parnell, from Cornwall, was on board the moving train when his train collided with the one in front.
 
He said:”We were travelling fairly slowly as we were arriving at the platform when we came to a sudden stop with a huge bang. Of course, most people were stood up waiting to alight and were thrown forward. No one appeared to be injured in my immediate area.”
 
The incident is said to be “on-going”.
