I have been told though it wasn't as bad as what the BBC make it out to be. The train didn't leave the platform, and he wasn't dragged underneath.

Why do the press instead on being so dramatic about any incident on the railways ? For example, there was that road crash in Lincolnshire where 5 people were killed and that only got about 1 -2 mins on the 10 O' Clock news.
When there was the crash at Ufton Nevert level crossing, 6 people were killed including the driver of the car and that had constant coverage on News 24 and had 15+ mins on the 10 O' Clock news.

Well thats the end of plastic trains then, they clearly aren't safe, better start scrapping them with immediate effect, we can't have them injuring people like that left right and centre. {Well that is what was said about slam-door trains...}
