A girl has died after falling between a carriage and the platform at a Liverpool railway station, apparently while running after a train.
Georgia Varley, 16, of Wallasey, Wirral, died at Liverpool James Street station late on Saturday night, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
Police believe she had been running to catch a train home that had friends and family on board.
Some bystanders needed treatment for shock after witnessing her death.
About 40 passengers were on the platform at the time of the incident, which involved the 23:01 BST Merseyrail service to West Kirby.
It is thought Georgia had been on a night out.
BTP said Ms Varley fell between a train and the platform and was killed as the train left the station.
'Distraught family'
Det Ch Insp Simon Taylor, leading the investigation for BTP, said: "We are determined to work out exactly what happened to Georgia and I am calling on rail passengers in Liverpool to help with this.
"Georgia has left behind a distraught family and we want to be able to tell them exactly what happened and help them come to terms with the tragedy."
Anyone who witnessed the incident is being urged to contact them.
A spokeswoman for the Northwest Ambulance Service said Georgia was confirmed dead at the scene.
"When our paramedics arrived they realised that there was nothing that could be done for the girl," she said.
"They were able to treat some people nearby who witnessed the incident."
A spokesman for Merseyrail said the company was co-operating fully with a BTP investigation into what happened.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim and we extend our sincerest sympathies to them."

Comments
The ironing is delicious.
The best part of the news websites is when people post comments on the stories and they're completely derranged.
But i think that it is very very sad that this young girl has suffered; i would post a comment of condolences.
I have the urge to chase and jump on trains if i've just slightly missed one. You know, jump into the gap between carriages and just go through the door.
I'm absolutely sure I could make it - but doing it once would mean i'd do it again. And of the 1000 times i would try to do it; i'd only need to fuck up once to regret it.
Dumb idea, but I wince a little at the thought of being mushed by a train. The other day I was waiting at a train station, and I was wondering why the line on the floor was so far away from the platform edge. A few seconds later, a fucking HUGE train came blazing past at what must have been 100mph and I could see from bits of paper and litter getting sucked underneath the train just how much turbulence they cause.
Lesson learned, don't fuck with trains or they will fuck you up.
There are but only on certain stories. I think it should be all or nothing.
Also I'm a fan of the Darwin Awards, although how sad this story is, you do think the lines are there for a reason. Obviously she's never been to London - please mind the gap!
Edit - I was on a train the other week that hit an elderly guy who jumped from a bridge. It's not that exciting. No blood or guts flew past the window. Just the train stopped and a bus service was installed while the CSI/Police teams were called in.
Anyway, in case anyone wishes to pay their respects to the girl, this link was floating around on 4chan yesterday - https://www.facebook.com/pages/RIP-Georgia-Varley/231454030249167 . Her actual Facebook page has been removed, although I was able to access it yesterday. I had no idea that Facebook actually removed accounts if people have died... This gives me an idea for a thread.
Silly girl. You can't run after a train.
1. She was a woman
2. She was blonde
3. She has more makeup then sense.
