Dramatic footage of the moment where a young boy narrowly avoids death while running across the tracks of a Sydney railway station has been released. The 12-year-old boy is seen to jump onto the tracks and run across to the other platform, reportedly to talk to a girl who caught his eye. He dashes back across in order to catch what he thinks is his train, but which is in-fact a through train which does not stop or have a chance to slow down. The train speeds through the station travelling over 60mph and pins the boy between the train and platform wall, before he is seen to slip down out of sight. Miraculously the boy survives after falling into a small cavity under the lip of the platform. Telegraph
