Two north London rail lines have been suspended after “a person was hit by a train”.
There was no service on the Bakerloo line between Queens Park and Harrow and Wealdstone, and on the Overground line between Euston and Watford Junction earlier this morning (May 29).
In a Tweet, National Rail said that “emergency services attended” the incident, in which “a person was hit by a train”.
It was confirmed at around 8.45am that the closed lines had been re-opened, although disruption from Euston is expected until 10am.
🚆All lines have now reopened between Watford Junction and #LondonEuston following the emergency services attending to an incident where a person was hit by a train.
