Blind man who fell on to the tracks at Manchester Piccadilly wins payout

Abdul Eneser blames his fall on the lack of tactile paving on the platform and was awarded £18,000 by Network Rail

When Abdul Eneser slipped off the side of the platform at Manchester Piccadilly station, he lay terrified with no option but to listen as the rumbles of a freight train drew closer.

Eneser, who is blind, had fallen owing to a lack of tactile paving, meaning he had been unable to feel how close he was to the edge of the platform.
