Default Fatality at Balham?

Funny though, the night just before or just after this incident (should be
the same
day if converted to GMT) I was dreaming that "I was dreaming [i.e. I dreamed
another
dream when I was dreaming] at New Cross Gate with one of my friends" (with
the
station severely different from the real one, as I've never been to UK.).

My friend insisted on taking photos on the new ELL stock (Can't imagine!!?)
STANDING ON THE TRACK, and refuse to get onto the platform when I tried
to rescue him with my umbrella. I decided to flee at last and when I just
about to
get outside the station I saw a train approaching the track where my friend
would be.
When I "got up" for the first time, I switched on my computer and saw an
"one-under"
3D computer graphic, then I knew that my friend "was dead". Soon after I
was about
to leave the room I woke up "again", and this time I need to go to the
university for
lessons.

Of course, neither my friend and I was involved in any "one-under" accident
in UK,
as both of us are Hong-kongers and have never been to UK.

Any idea what happened at Balham station today? No trains were
stopping there this morning and all services were severely delayed (up
to an hour or more). The announcements just mentioned a fatality
without giving any other details.
