Man in search of shoe on train hit by 25,000 volts
The 23-year-old was in a critical, but stable condition in hospital after being seriously burned at Durham railway station on Saturday evening.
It was believed the man, from Cornforth, County Durham, was a Newcastle United fan who had travelled to the team’s 2-0 home defeat against Blackpool. His shoe, for reasons yet to be established, became lodged on top of the train, police said.
