Male person, scene treated as a crime scene by BTP and body not
recovered until 1300 approx.

Which once again highlights how bloody disgraceful it is that nowadays the
police are permitted to cause disruption on such a scale to the general
public. Perhaps they should be forced to compensate all of those caught up
in their incompetence (as everyone else seems to be expected to these
days) - that might focus their minds to get the job done more quickly.
Bearing in mind that this incident allegedly occurred at around 01:00 the
railway should have been cleared and open for operation by 05:00 at the
latest.

I take it this is meant as a rather morbid joke? Just in case it isn't
....

A body is found, possibly badly damaged - had it been hit by a train?
- at 1am and you expect the police to complete their scene-of-crime
investigations within a couple of hours, in the middle of the night?

By the way, I'm told that the new system is that SOCO's are only
called out when it's not known how the body got there, so it could be
a murder victim. When railway staff see the person alive - ie clear
suicides - it's now handled at a less painstaking level.

Nonetheless, if one of my friends or relatives was found dead on a
railway at 1am, I'd be a bit upset if no more than a cursory
examination of the scene took place.
