A tragic incident occurred this afternoon at Green Park Underground station, where a person was hit by a London Underground train. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene at approximately 3.50pm, but the individual was pronounced dead shortly after their arrival. As a result of the incident, the Victoria line has been suspended, causing significant disruption across the Transport for London (TfL) network. Passengers have been advised to seek alternative routes, as the line remains closed between Warren Street and Brixton, with severe delays affecting the rest of the line. In addition to the Victoria line issues, there are further delays on other TfL services. A signal failure at Queen's Park has led to severe delays, while minor delays are reported between Upminster and Barking due to an earlier incident involving a person unwell on a train. Passengers at various stations have reported "mass overcrowding" as commuters attempt to navigate the disruptions. A tannoy announcement at St Pancras Station indicated that gates were closed due to the overwhelming number of people at the Victoria platform. Transport for London has confirmed that tickets are being accepted on alternative services, including London Buses, Great Northern, Thameslink, and South Western Railway, among others. Authorities have stated that the incident is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner. The situation continues to develop, and passengers are urged to stay updated on service changes.
