Putney Station shut, loads of traffic. Think accident at Clapham.

"Emergency services are dealing with an incident near the railway between London Waterloo and Clapham Junction. Trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised because of this problem."The majority of the lines have reopened now though.

So nothing to do with TfL?

No, probably the fault of cyclists, Sadiq Kahn or ULEZ.

Absolutely nothing to do with TFL. Body on main line track to waterloo.

It was absolutely nothing to do with TFL etc etc. I was there, a man committed suicide by throwing himself under a moving train. My thoughts go out to his family & friends & the poor people who had to deal with the bits of body.

Very sad.

Perhaps TFL reported the traffic problem, nobody moved in our road for about 1 hr. Everything was at a standstill.

When I put this on there was so much traffic in our road nobody had a clue what had happened, apart from Putney Station shut and an accident.
So if nobody had a clue what had happened, why identify it as a "TfL accident" in your original post?

Good job you aren't my other half's because you boring old gits pick on anything you can. I bet your sitting picking your noses waiting for dinner because your wives are fed up with you.
Answers on a tissue, Oh you probably wiped it on sleeve.
A tragic incident I haven't read the details but prayers and thought to any family.I had a quick look at deaths by various means of transport a while ago. I was quite shocked how high deaths by heavy rail were when compared to light rail and other forms of public transport.Economic costs too are quite high not to mention the distance between stations.I do feel London has been too slow to move away from heavy rail for passenger journeys. Heavy rail is of course the prefered method for moving heavy goods.I hope the lines that TFL recently acquired are converted to light rail.
