The Silverlink Metro and Bakerloo were completely halted this evening by a
"major incident" at Headstone Lane. However, there was no mention of the
incident or the disruption on LBC local radio. Anybody have any info ?

"Fatality on the line" according to National Rail Enquiries. "Customer
incident" according to LU.

Excuse the maybe naive and somewhat depressing question, but does this
usually mean suicide or could it also be a 'normal' accident?

It was a fatality. I've not seen an explanation as to whether it was a
suicide attempt or not.

If it was a suicide, then attempt is not the word I'd chose.

Thanks for the info, guys. I was particularly interested because my young
daughter was stranded on High St Kilburn station with no trains in either
direction and no information from station staff or illuminated signs or
loudspeakers !! Eventually she had to take a bus to Queens Park, Bakerloo to
Baker Street then Met to Harrow.
I find that Silverlink, who manage High St Kilburn station and the one at
Harrow & Wealdstone are very bad at giving information and even when they
do, the only announcements which can be understood are the pre-recorded ones
about station security.

If it happens again, she should get a 328 bus from Kilburn High Road to West
Hampstead.

From the Harrow Observer Thurs. 27/10/05

RAILWAY DEATH

A man died after being hit by a train near Headstone Lane station in
Hatch End on Tuesday night. The man, who has not been named, was
walking across the tracks with a friend when he was struck by a train
at 9.55pm. He was taken to hospital, but died soon after from his
injuries. His friend was unhurt but was being treated for shock. A
British Transport Police spokesman said that it appeared the men had
been trespassing on the tracks and trying to use them as a shortcut.
They are not treating the death as suspicious.
