Approx 10:00 this morning was greeted by LUL staff at the top of the exits
to announce the Victoria Line was suspended between Walthamstow Central and
Highbury & Islington due to a person under a train.

Contingency plan to walk to the WAGN station was only to be met with staff
who announced their station was also closed "at the request of the BTP"
despite the incident being on the Victoria Line and WAGN trains were
running through non stop. Any ideas why the BTP opted to close that too?


Probably being a pedant, but do WAGN serve Seven Sisters?

You beat me to it. Despite the signs that LUL display signs directing
people to the WAGN station.

No idea about why NR didnt stop at Seven Sisters.
However I can tell anyone it wasn't anything to do with 'pesky passengers'.
My main reason on this thread is to tell you that the T/Op who was on 'the'
train has suffered quite considerably. Unfortunately for him, this was his
third person on the tracks at SVS, in exactly the same place. He returned to
full duty on Tuesday after the last incident.
As you come into platform 5 at SVS, there is a bend, the previous 2
occasions have been 'near miss' incidents, where he has spotted a person in
the tunnel, as he has come round the bend at normal line speed. Quick action
on his part ensured stopped on the previous 2 occasions. I dealt with one of
these instances. Luckily i was not at work on Thursday, a bad day for the
Vic all over the place.
This chap is not a softy. But after this one, we can only hope he will be ok
to return. I dont know if i would.
