The child became trapped in front of his horrified parents as they ascended at London Bridge station after enjoying a family day out eating pizza and watching a New Year’s Day parade. If so email [email protected] A London Bridge station escalator technician freed the severed toes and put them on ice but they could not be reattached at nearby St Thomas’ Hospital. “It’s really disappointing to see Network Rail deny liability for this issue and we hope, through our ongoing legal investigation we can identify those features of the escalator that were unsafe, and ensure this tragedy doesn’t happen to anyone else.” Bolt Burdon Kemp is appealing for witnesses to come forward, emailing [email protected] or calling 020 7288 4815.
