Woman injured after train crashed through closed railway gates

A WOMAN was treated in hospital yesterday after a commuter train ploughed through closed railway gates.

Iarnród Éireann launched an investigation after the 6.20am train from Longford to Dublin crashed through the gates just a few hundred metres from Edgeworthstown train station.

The Longford woman received minor injuries, just 10 minutes after boarding the train in Longford, when debris from the collision smashed a window.
