Train delays on Woolwich line after “person falls on track”

18/02/2020 2 Comments J Smith

There are ongoing delays across Southeastern services tonight after a passenger fell onto tracks in Charlton.

NEW: Due to a problem under investigation, services are being delayed between London Bridge and Woolwich Arsenal as we have received an emergency call from a train. More information to follow as soon as we have it.

Southeastern state people can use the DLR where possible. There is already additional crowding on the lline due to the Bexleyheath line being closed this week.

The passenger is not reported to be seriously injured and is believed to have fallen between the platform and train.

I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

Good news. Please the person seems to be okay. I wish then well for the future. The gap between platform and train is too big for some people including children the elderly and disabled. Trains to need to be more accessible for all.
