Update :-TRIBUTES have been paid to Wirral teenager Georgia Varley who died after falling between a platform and a moving train at Liverpool James Street train station.
Georgia Varley, 16, from Wirral, was killed in the accident at James Street station at around 11.30pm on Saturday night.
Around 40 to 50 passengers were on the platform at the time, a number of whom were treated for shock.
The train was travelling from Liverpool to West Kirby and is understood to have been moving out of platform one when the incident happened.
A British Transport Police spokesman said the circumstances surrounding Georgia’s death were “unclear” and an investigation is continuing.
Floral tributes were left at the city centre station yesterday and Georgia’s friends taped messages and photos of her onto the station window, calling her a “superstar”.
More than 4,000 people have joined a group set up on Facebook to remember the popular teenager, a student at Hilbre High School in West Kirby who is also believed to have attended Upton Convent School.
More than 100 of the teenager’s friends gathered at West Kirby beach last night to share their memories of Georgia as news spread of her death.
One message at James Street, left by a friend called Gracey, said: “You brought so much joy into all of our lives.
“There was never a day when you didn’t make me laugh.
On Facebook, other friends said Georgia was always happy and “full of smiles”.
One, Clare, wrote: “So so sad. So beautiful, so young.”
Another said: “By far one of the most beautiful people ever given to us.
“She always made people smile and knew what to say.”
A spokesman for Merseyrail said a replacement bus service to Hamilton Square in Birkenhead was organised for passengers while the power to the train network was turned off.
Two trains were trapped on the network for 45 minutes.
The Wirral line service resumed at 12.10am. Train services on the northern line to Southport were temporarily disrupted for about 30 minutes.
