Trains from Thames Ditton seem to be running as usual and on time this morning. Could have checked online last night, as our friend of the platform doubtless was doing, but we’ve never experienced more than slight delays in the past. It’s a nice little station. Only open weekday mornings but they have lots of info available and sell coffees that fund the station garden - pots of colourful flowers. An hour and a half from the station to our front door. Do google to see if there’s anything on last night’s problem. Apparently true that a person was hit by a train, and at Wimbledon they now say. About noon, so we’re fortunate to have got to Thames Ditton at all.
Suicides on the London Transport system average about one a week. It’s a number that is a little difficult to establish as it’s not always clear whether an individual fell or jumped. Being pushed is much rarer, though it has happened. And suicide numbers have been dropping as TFL has taken stronger preventative measures.
