PASSENGERS on a busy rush hour train were injured when it ran into buffers at a terminal station.

Paramedics treated six people at Sudbury Station after the two-carriage train crashed.

Police and rail accident investigators were also called to the scene just after 6.30pm.

None of the passengers required hospital treatment and a spokesman for train operator one said everyone had been able to continue their journeys.

A British Transport Police spokesman said the crash took place at “low speed”, and the casualties were described as “walking wounded'”.

A spokeswoman for the East Anglian Ambulance Service said other passengers may also have suffered minor injuries, but made their way home anyway.

Investigators from Network Rail will now probe the cause of the accident which involved the 6.05pm Marks Tey-to-Sudbury service.

A spokeswoman said the inquiry may be passed to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.

A spokeswoman for one, the train operating company, said the class 156 diesel train was "full of passengers'.

She said: "It was travelling at low speed when it hit the buffers. There were a few injuries but they have been dealt with and did not require hospital treatment.

"There appears to be no damage to the train, it was a slow collision and all the passengers have gone home.'

She added that buses would replace train services tonight and said a "full investigation' would take place into the cause of the accident.
