A 32-year old man from Peterborough will appear before the town’s magistrated this morning to face 10 counts of attempted murder in connection with the stabbings on board an LNER train from Doncaster to London on Saturday evening.

Tributes have been paid to the train manager who was seriously injured in Saturday night’s stabbing attacks on an LNER train. The train manager tried to stop the attacks, and is in hospital with ‘life-threatening’ injuries. The driver of the train from Doncaster, Andrew Johnson, has also been praised for his speedy response, because he liased swiftly with control when the alarm was raised south of Peterborough, so that his train could be diverted from the up through line at Huntingdon to the slow line platform, where police could board the train.
