Northern line partly suspended after casualty on tracks

The Northern line is partly suspended after a casualty on the tracks, with emergency services dealing with the incident.

There is no service between Camden Town and High Barnet, or between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East. Minor delays affect the rest of the line.

Tickets are being accepted on London Buses, Thameslink and South Western Railway via reasonable routes.

British Transport Police has confirmed that a person has been taken to hospital following the incident on the tracks at East Finchley Underground station. Officers were called at around 10.52am today, 10 November, following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

It is the third casualty-on-the-tracks incident on London’s rail network in two days. On Sunday morning, a casualty on the tracks at Northwick Park partly suspended the Metropolitan line. Later that day, Thameslink services were shut after a person was hit by a train between Peterborough and Huntingdon. And last night, a person was taken to hospital after a casualty on the tracks at West Hampstead Thameslink station.

In the Northwick Park incident, the suspension was lifted at 10.31am, and the casualty’s injuries were described as non life-threatening and non life-changing. In the Thameslink incident, the person died, the lines reopened at 3.35pm, and disruption was expected until 8pm. In the West Hampstead incident, the person was taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing, and the incident was not treated as suspicious.
