Default The Corpse in the Four Foot

A body has been found in the four foot (the space between the running rails normally occupied by sleepers) at Westbourne Park.

Paddington has been closed and, as no driver has reported colliding with a human, become a scene-of-crime.

Although NRE is reporting:

A person has been hit by a train between London Paddington and
Ealing Broadway. This means that trains are currently unable to
run between London Paddington and Slough / Heathrow Airport.

become a scene-of-crime.


Someone jumped (or were they pushed) off Westway?

The line will be totally closed until 11:45 I read now on the NRE web site.


12:30 now.

How utterly ridiculous that a multi-track main line can;t have any tracks
reopened by now!


The H&C still seems to be running.

Eek! This is getting silly!


NRE hasn't caught up, but NR tweeted at about 11:30:

#LondonPaddington Lines are now open.
