Train driver’s back injury

A train driver has secured nearly £6,000 compensation following a serious back injury caused as he stepped onto discarded rubbish. On the day of the accident, he was working on the Leeds to Ilkley route. As he stepped onto the train in order to drive back to Leeds, he stepped onto rubbish that had been thrown onto the train but not cleaned up. He fell backwards onto the platform and badly injured his lower back.
