Default Oh dear - commuter services out of Euston today, poor incident planning and the BTP

Unfortunately someone saw fit to throw themselves under a train at
Harrow and Wealdstone at the height of the evening peak this evening
(around 1720 I believe). This, as you might guess, caused quite a lot
of chaos at Euston, and resulted in me getting back about 2 hours late
following us getting stuck behind a failed VT at Watford to add insult
to proverbial injury.


The nationalrail.co.uk live arr/dep boards information is doing
sterling service in keeping abreast of the situation:

"SITE UNAVAILABLE
The Live Departure Boards web site is currently closed whilst it
undergoes routine maintenance.
Please try again later.
The System is expected to be available again at 11 PM."

No doubt there are pressing reasons why "routine maintenance" cannot
be undertaken at times of minimum train operations.
