Person dies after being hit by train at Tottenham Hale

London’s Underground system was thrown into disarray this morning after reports of a “casualty on the tracks” at Tottenham Hale.

Trains were pulled from Seven Sisters to Walthamstow Central while emergency services attended the scene. The line has since reopened.

At 8.23am, Transport for London Access tweeted that Tottenham Hale station had reopened following "an earlier customer incident".

Although the Victoria line is now operating as normal, other disturbances are reported on the Central line, DLR, Metropolitan line, Waterloo & City line and Windrush line this morning.

A spokesperson for London Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 6.33am this morning (16 March) to reports of a person hit by a train at Tottenham Hale Underground Station, Ferry Lane.

“We sent a number of resources to the scene including an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and members of our Hazardous Area Response Team.

“We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance.“Sadly a person had died at the scene.”

British Transport Police has been approached for comment.
