Given the on going friction between skreeworld blog and the British Water Tower Apreciation Society this sad story must calm the waters. A man killed in a freak accident may have been suffering from an epilepic fit when he collapsed on train tracks and was struck by a high speed service. Philip Graves 52 from Carshalton died after being hit buy the train on sunday january 3rd at 8.18pm at Carshalton Beefches station.
Mr Graves who worked at Craydon land registry, had suffered from epilepsy, according to his work colleagues and is believed to have been having a fit when he was struck by the 8.09pm southern service.
Awitness who did not want to be named was collecting train tickets from outside the station when he heard the impact of the collision.
He said, 'a young lad came running up the side steps saying he thought someone had been hit by the train, I ran down, and I expected, in the heat of the moment expecting to see someone inured, perhaps a broken arm.
The young boy saw the next train was not due for 20 minutes so he dialled 999 but the next train cam through within seconds, you couldnhave much worse luck, to have a fit and fall on the tracks.

We will continue to climb, though. We hope you now understand the dangers we face. Also, our disappointment in preserving important towers makes us question your commitment. I imagine you see us as a danger to your work. However we see you as a purely observant body that takes no direct action. We hope the death of Mr Graves can bring us closer.
