A 16-year-old has been posthumously hailed "a hero" after he died attempting to rescue a friend from an oncoming train at a Cheshire railway station. Jordan Everett tragically lost his life alongside Joshua Myers, also 16, after both were struck by an Avanti West Coast service at Poynton station, sustaining fatal injuries at the scene.
Cheshire Coroner’s Court heard that the incident occurred on the evening of July 3 last year, following a gathering of friends at a nearby skate park. Joshua, from Handforth, Cheshire, had climbed over a gate onto the platform before descending onto the tracks.
