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.



You are an expert on police procedure and the requirements of
Scenes-of-Crimes operations then? They make one false step and everyone from
the Home Secretary all the way down to the Sun newspaper is going to jump all
over them. They don't need, but certainly get, plenty of cretins complaining
because theor oh-so-important journey has been delayed 5 minutes. If they
screw up a muder conviction by not getting the forensics right in the first
place, those self-same cretins will be the first to start demanding that
heads should roll.
