Fatality at Balham?
-- "Baloo" wrote in message ... "Jack Taylor" wrote in message ... "CIG_BIG_CIG" wrote in message om... 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. regards Baloo 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.
