A person has died after being struck by a Victoria line train at Green Park underground station in London this afternoon. The incident has caused severe disruption across the Victoria line during rush hour, with part of the line suspended and mass overcrowding at major stations.
British Transport Police were called to Green Park station at 3:50 PM. Paramedics attended the scene and pronounced the person dead. The incident is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
Transport for London confirmed the service disruption in a status update: «Victoria Line: No service between Warren Street and Brixton and SEVERE DELAYS on the rest of the line while the emergency services deal with a casualty on the track. Tickets are being accepted on London Bus, Weaver line, Suffragette line, Great Northern, Thameslink, Greater Anglia, South Western Railway and Southeastern services.»
Impact on passengers
The incident has caused massive overcrowding at affected stations. Gates were closed at St Pancras Station due to what a MyLondon reporter described as «massive overcrowding» at the Victoria platform.
The Victoria line remains partially suspended between Warren Street and Brixton. Severe delays continue on the rest of the line as emergency services complete their work at the scene.
