Apparently a tourist family from ole US of A went to Kings X to get a photo taken between platforms 9 and 10 where there's a spiffy blue plaque about the Hogwarts Express leaving from platform 9 3/4. So their son grabs a trolley and runs straight at the wall with the predicatble result of going arse over tit and doing himself an injury.
Predictably NW are being sued for not having a sign up saying that it's a brick wall not the entrance to a fictional land.
