A train driver who crashed into a station and caused £450,000 of damage was using his phone seconds before the smash.
Phillip Hollis, 56, who has admitted endangering the safety of passengers, was travelling at 40mph - almost three times the 15mph speed limit - when he smashed into Kirkby station, in Merseyside.
He applied the emergency brakes but the train collided with the buffer stop at the end of the platform and derailed.
