Male person, scene treated as a crime scene by BTP and body not
recovered until 1300 approx. The lack of a contingency plan by SCT for
the main lines being closed during the peaks meant services ran up to
180 mins late!

Which once again highlights how bloody disgraceful it is that nowadays
the
police are permitted to cause disruption on such a scale to the general
public. Perhaps they should be forced to compensate all of those caught
up
in their incompetence (as everyone else seems to be expected to these
days) - that might focus their minds to get the job done more quickly.
Bearing in mind that this incident allegedly occurred at around 01:00
the
railway should have been cleared and open for operation by 05:00 at the
latest.

Until, of course, its a member of your family that is the victim of the
suspicious death, when you would be asking why the police didn't do
everything possible at the scene to detect the offender. These things take
time, thats a fact of life.

They don't seem to take this amount of time when it's a road accident.
Neither do they take so long on other European railways, four hours being
about the maximum. On SNCF, at least, a member of the equivalent of the
Coroner's staff will accompany the police/fire brigade (the latter cover all
first-line response ambulance duties) to the incident scenre to evaluate the
evidence.
