At around 13:00 my pager reported a fatality in the Alexandra Palace/Welwyn Garden City area, This resulted in trains being brought to a standstill in the Hatfield area and any trains which had passed the Hertford branch line were also brought to a stop.At the moment there are still some delays as GNER, Hull Trains and FCC services are all affected and are being sent down the Hertford Branch Line, Same number of Trains using less tracks and less space. A combo of Fun!
What some people dont seem to understand in the time of a fatality is that every time it is fully investigated. If foul play is suspected then the lines will remain closed. Then it needs to be photographed (by the Police, Network Rail and maybe the TOC), then it needs to be cleaned up.
Now heres a special message for that customer who asked me “why dont they just drive over the body and carry on as normal”.
Well mr insensitve customer, you wouldnt say the same if it was YOUR son/daughter who was affected.
