Some Long Branch GO Train users said it was an accident waiting to happen.

Some regular train users say a local woman did not have to suffer life-threatening injuries after being hit by a train and hospitalized.

The woman, 46, was hit by a train at the Long Branch Station on September 17 around 8:15 a.m. and is fighting for her life.

Police said an express train was travelling on the Lakeshore West line, bypassing the Long Branch station, when a woman walking near the edge of the platform, was struck by the train.

They urge passengers to remain back of the platform lines and always be aware of approaching trains.

Witnesses said the station was packed and the victim’s strap got caught by the train and she was injured.

The incident has sparked many responses from irate residents on social media from residents who use the station.

Kristen Rae wrote on social media that the station gets quite crowded since Metrolinx reduced service from every 15 to 30 minutes.

She points her finger to overcrowding and construction and congestion issues at the station, which has been undergoing major work for more than a year.

Lisa Cunningham Davis said increased congestion on the Long Branch Platform has been a growing concern and danger since the Lakeshore West line was reduced from every 15 minutes 30 minutes.

“This was only further compounded by the construction at Long Branch Station which removed full platform access, and forced passengers to crowd to board fewer train cars,” Davis said on social media.

Davis said there was another similar incident at Union Station in 2015 and the number of trains should increase running during rush hour.

Some called for safety barriers be installed on platforms to protect people from being too close to the arriving or departing trains.
