Death on Northern Line

On Tuesday an incident occurred on the Northern Line resulting in a death. British Transport Police Sergeant Paul Longstaff told us that "At 6.20 am a report was received that the 6.16 passenger train had struck a person on the railway lines, near to Birkdale Railway Station. Officers from the British Transport Police and ambulance service attended the scene and found that the body of a female on the line. It is clear that death would have been instantaneous. An investigation is now being carried out by the British Transport Police, although there are no suspicious circumstances. A full report will be submitted to H.M. Coroner in due course. Details of the deceased person other then her age: 45 and she is from Southport any other detail are not being released at this time until the next of kin have been informed. An investigation is now being carried out, but their are no suspicious circumstances." Our deepest sympathies go to the family of the deceased and to the train driver.
