Fatality at Balham?

The police are incompetent enough as it is. In fact they are, in common with much of the legal world, one of the last bastions of all that Mrs Thatcher complained about. Giving the police all the time they need sounds to me like the sort of thing party politicians say when they are trying to please the public. I was told by station personnel that the body in question had a knife wound; so hardly a routine fatality. What was amazing was that SC could not organise a diversion as they do at weekends. |

I suspect that is because during the weekday peak the system is at capacity and it isn't at weekends. There are probably also power-supply issues on any diversion route as well as the route being slower. I was rather suprised though that SCT didn't turn trains at East Croydon - they were still well out by the evening. John. |
