Commuters who also witnessed the incident at 22:15 BST took to social media to record their shock.
One user said: "Thankfully all unharmed. The driver is also ok and he did a superb job, along with a chap from the depot that was on his way to work. What a night."
When pushchair with kids and mum end up on the track in front of the train you were just about to board. 😔 Thankfully all unharmed. The driver is also ok and he did a superb job, along with a chap from the depot that was on his way to work. What a night.
Another witness expressed her concern for the family to Transport for London.
Nigel Holness, director of network operations at TfL said: "We are relieved that the family who were involved in the incident at Baker Street last night were able to escape unharmed and we offer them our best wishes.
"Having reviewed footage from our platform cameras and spoken to those involved we understand this incident was an accident but it does underline the need for all customers to remain behind the yellow line when waiting for trains or walking along the platform."
Beds that aren’t properly sized for either the room or the inhabitants will prevent rather than promote a good night’s sleep. If the sleepers are tall or large people, having more room can make all the difference in getting some good rest. A standard queen or king size mattress is 80 inches long and a California King i...

A UK-based designer is training trees to grow into fully-formed pieces of furniture by guiding the branches around special moulds over a number of years. Matthew Stock reports.

The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, a...
The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.
The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.
As the world moves closer and closer to an official beginning to world war III, and as many people are seeking opportunities to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East, it is important to realize that the US state and the American people are simply not equipped or conditioned to pursue and realize peace. War is in...

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [FDIC] announced two new bank failures on Friday. Assets of nearly $3.2 billion and deposits of over $2.5 billion from the two banks were turned over to new lenders at a total cost of $850 million to the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund [DIF], according to agency statements.
The FDIC was named receiver for Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. of Louisville, Kentucky, and Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company of Columbus, Indiana, after being closed Friday by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, respectively.
To protect depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with First Financial Bank, National Association, Hamilton, Ohio, to assume all of the deposits of the two banks.
As of August 31, 2009, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company of Colombus, Indiana, had total assets of $2.7 billion and total deposits of approx. $2.1 billion.
As of August 31, 2009, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., Louisville, Kentucky, had total assets of $493 million and total deposits of approx. $441 million. The failure for both institutions is expected to cost the FDIC deposit insurance fund an estimated $850 million.
The failure of the two institutions brings the nation’s total number this year to 94. The last banks closed in the respective states were The Rushville National Bank, Rushville, Indiana, on December 18, 1992, and Future Federal Savings Bank, Louisville, Kentucky, on August 30, 1991.

Is SAIC Stock a Bargain Now?
A steep selloff post-earnings has investors wondering: Is it time to buy?
Last week was an eventful one for owners of SAIC (NYSE:SAIC) stock. As the week began, this IT contractor's stock was trading north of $53 per share, and at one of its highest valuations since March. But SAIC stock fell as much as 10% in response to a disappointing earnings report Tuesday. It then rebounded through Thu...
And now, with things finally settling down a bit, it's time to pause and reflect: Who was right about SAIC stock last week? The folks who panicked and sold, or those who rushed in to grab the rebound?
It all depends on how you look at the results. Last week, SAIC reported $1 billion in fiscal Q1 2016 revenues, a bit ahead of expectations; $0.69 per share in diluted earnings, $0.06 short of predictions at Zacks Investment Research; and $28 million in free cash flow, $5 million below reported net income, but $1 millio...
According to S&P Capital IQ data, backlog was essentially unchanged from last quarter at $6.2 billion, and SAIC brought in enough new business to replace all revenues booked in the quarter, saying it has a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0.
Thus, the news literally ran the gamut from good (revenues) to bad (earnings) to indifferent (backlog).
So is it a buy or not?
Up 19% over the past year even after last week's slump, SAIC shares have handily outperformed the S&P 500. However, at 17.5 times trailing earnings, but long-term earnings growth estimated at just 6.5% annualized (again, according to S&P Capital IQ), the stock certainly doesn't look like much of a bargain.
On the other hand, free cash flow remains strong. Despite Q1's anemic performance, cash profits generated over the past year come to $256 million, 82% more than what the company is permitted to report as net income" nder generally accepted accounting principles.
Valued on its free cash flow, the stock sells for a valuation of about 9.1. Considering SAIC pays its shareholders a tidy 2.4% income stream from dividends, I'd say SAIC's 6.5% projected profits growth rate is enough to make the stock fairly valued today. But until the company can ramp that growth rate up a bit, it's n...

THIS thoughtless driver in Salford got his comeuppance on Wednesday when cops outed him for blocking a resident's driveway.
Luckily for the homeowner, Greater Manchester Police towed the vehicle away after publicly humiliating the perpetrator on Twitter.
Warning against future would-be annoying parking, GMP tweeted: "A patrol was sent to a vehicle causing obstruction in @GMPMonton this morning. Vehicle was blocking in a vehicle on the drive.
Traffic Offence Report issued & vehicle towed away. PLEASE PARK RESPONSIBLY DON'T BLOCK OTHERS IN."
The Tweet sparked a furious response from Twitter users who felt the anger of the blocked vehicle's owner.
One user seethed: "How utterly selfish of this driver. Would have loved to of seen the reaction when the car wasn't there when he/she returned!!"
A patrol was sent to a vehicle causing obstruction in @GMPMonton this morning.
Vehicle was blocking in a vehicle on the drive.
Traffic Offence Report issued & vehicle towed away.
Another was convinced the driver got away lightly with a towing and fine. They raged: "Should also be charged with wasting police time!"
Greater Manchester Police provide guidelines for motorists and property owners informing them what they should do if a vehicle blocked their driveway.
Their website reads: "If your vehicle is parked on your drive and a vehicle is stopping you from accessing the highway this is classed as an obstruction.
"If a vehicle is blocking access to your driveway and your vehicle is on the highway this is an inconvenience and not classed as an obstruction in road traffic law."
The latest Star Wars book, The Rebel Files, has just restored an absolute wealth of classic Expanded Universe content into the Star Wars canon. Exploring the backstory of the Rebel Alliance, it carefully weaves ideas, characters, and locations into the new continuity Lucasfilm has built - honoring details long since be...
When Disney purchased Lucasfilm back in 2012, the House of Mouse was faced with an unenviable decision. The Star Wars canon had grown too unwieldy, and it was simply impossible to tell creative new stories while retaining the wider canon shaped by the comics, novels, magazines, and more over the past decades. So Disney...
Since then, though, Lucasfilm has carefully been restoring some of the best bits of the old canon into their new continuity. The most prominent example is undoubtedly Grand Admiral Thrawn, who played a major part in Star Wars Rebels and was featured in a new-canon novel by Timothy Zahn. The latest Star Wars book, The R...
Take, for example, Trinebulon News, a HoloNet media company who seem to have leaned towards the Empire. According to notes in The Rebel Files, they've actually become a "shill" for the First Order by the time of the Sequel Trilogy. Tri-Neb was created back in 2001, in an article published in Star Wars Gamer.
The most significant plot element absorbed into the new canon is the Petition of 2,000. Mentioned in the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, this was a petition from 2,000 senators calling for Palpatine to renounce his emergency powers and end the war against the Separatists. Lucas originally intended to reference it ...
In-universe books like this can sometimes seem a little bland, but Wallace is a skillful writer, and he's done a solid job presenting the emotions that underpinned the Rebel Alliance. One highlight, for example, is a flurry of transmissions between Rebel leaders as they reel after the destruction of Alderaan. Leia jots...
Little by little, Lucasfilm is carefully restoring all the best bits of the old Expanded Universe into the new Star Wars canon. In the case of The Rebel Files, we're dealing with a whole host of details that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but will nonetheless bring joy to lovers of the old Expanded ...
The vice president has long been viewed as an opponent of LGBT rights.
Vice President Mike Pence and his staff have been working quietly to get Congress to roll back the Defense Department’s year-old policy covering medical procedures for transitioning service members, according to sources.
Two sources involved in the lobbying effort on the Hill say Pence and his staff have been reaching out to Republican members of the House to push for the amendment to be included in the Pentagon spending bill. This month, an effort by Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) to end funding was narrowly defeated in the House in a 20...
Pence, who opposed President Barack Obama’s repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in 2010, has deep ties on the Hill from his years as an Indiana congressman. As governor, he opposed a federal directive on transgender bathroom use in schools, arguing that the matter should be left to states.
Despite the amendment’s initial defeat on July 13, House Republicans have refused to give up the fight and on Monday and Tuesday submitted near identical amendments, each of which must be considered separately.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) added another amendment stipulating that no funds may be used to conduct transgender sensitivity training courses or “screen members of the Armed Forces regarding gender reassignment surgery.” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) also filed an amendment to stop funding for the medical services.
Conservative groups like the Family Research Council, Heritage Action for America, and Alliance Defending Freedom have been working on the Hill to convince members to support the measure, and with votes coming this week, it’s unclear which way the vote will fall.
Opponents claim that costs for the medical treatments that transgender service members may pursue would cost the Pentagon more than $3.7 billion over 10 years. However, studies from the New England Journal of Medicine and the Rand Corp. show that projected costs would more likely fall between $24 million and $84 millio...
In a statement to FP, Rep. Hartzler asserted that the cost would be closer to $1 billion, but “steps must be taken to address this misuse of our precious defense dollars. This policy hurts our military’s readiness.” It’s unclear where Hartzler’s figures come from, and her office declined to comment on her estimate.
The Family Research Council did not respond to a request for comment on its figures.
Opponents of the measure say military readiness is not an issue that will be affected by continuing the policy as it currently exists.
In a statement released through a spokesman on Tuesday, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Adm. Mike Mullen, said that “it would be unprecedented” for lawmakers to stop medical treatment for service members. “The military conducted a thorough research process on this issue and concluded that incl...
Prior to this month’s failed vote on the 2018 defense spending bill, Hartzler had submitted and then withdrawn a more wide-ranging amendment that would have completely reversed the year-old policy that allows transgender service members to serve openly.
The Republican lawmaker told CNN in June that she decided to wait for Defense Secretary James Mattis to outline his own policy on the issue. Mattis had reached out to Hartzler on at least one occasion in an effort to convince her to withdraw the transgender funding amendment, to no avail.
On June 30, however, Mattis implemented a six-month delay in accepting transgender recruits into the armed forces, saying service leaders need more time to “review their accession plans and provide input” to him, spokeswoman Dana W. White said in a statement.
But advocates for transgender service members point out that Mattis’s decision halts a program that wasn’t causing any problems. “It’s not healthy for the military to whipsaw policy back and forth,” said Aaron Belkin, the director of the Palm Center, an independent think tank that has conducted research on sexuality in...
