A BLIND man criticised Wessex Trains after falling into the gap between the platform and a carriage at Truro railway station.
David Halliwell, 30, a producer at BBC Radio Cornwall in Truro, suffered serious bruising when he fell into the gap while trying to board the 4.55pm Plymouth to Penzance train but says he could have been seriously hurt.
He says the accident happened because the vehicles run by the company are narrower than other services and there is no warning for the visually impaired as to where the end of the platform is.
Mr Halliwell, who lives in Falmouth, is calling for a "pimple platform" to be installed to warn people where the platform ends before someone is seriously injured.
He said the platform between the Falmouth branch line and the main Truro line was not very wide so it was quite dangerous for someone in his position without any guidance.
