A man, believed to be her husband, also fell into the gap between the platform and the train as he tried to reach her yesterday.

It happened at Hampton Loade station on the Kidderminster to Bridgnorth line.

The train was just pulling off the station heading for Bridgnorth when the woman’s Jack Russell dog ran off down the platform.
