Default Massive Disruption at Paddington - Suicide at Hayes & Harlington

And there did not seem to be any contingency plans at Paddington
despite this being a regular occurrence.


Is there some especial reason for it happening regularly at Paddington - an
open home in the area for instance?


Paddington is where the effects are felt, and where people think not
enough is done to alert passengers to alternative routes (or indeed
where not enough is done to arrange temporary transport - perhaps a bus
shuttle to Heathrow).

The hot spots for the suicides themselves are in the suburbs.
