Floral tributes have been left on the platform of a train station close to where a teenager died on Monday.

Gabby Joseph, 16, was struck by a train at Briton Ferry railway station in Neath Port Talbot.

A governor at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, where she was a former pupil, said she was talented and popular with many friends.

British Transport Police said the teenager’s death was not being treated as suspicious.

School governor Alun Llewelyn said: “Everyone associated with the school will be very very sad to hear the news.

“She was a very talented young lady and had a lot of friends.

“She had completed her GCSEs. We are thinking about her family and friends.”

Transport Police said they were called to the station along with South Wales Police and paramedics at 2129 BST on Monday.

The force said in a statement: “A female was pronounced dead at the scene and the incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious.”
