Can you tell me more about the incident?

A trespass incident had been reported in the Catford area, and trains were stopped for safety. The emergency services and Network Rail have attended and removed the person.

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.
