Customer advice

Can you tell me more about the incident?

A trespass incident was reported in the Farringdon area earlier today, and trains were brought to a stand for safety reasons.

The person has been removed from the railway and trains have been able to resume running their scheduled service.

Trespassing on the railway is extremely dangerous. Trains run at all times, often without warning, and many areas have high-voltage third rails, steep drops, and other hazards.

It is also illegal, with serious penalties for obstructing the railway.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
