That gate is where the workmen let us out, as they didn't have keys to the main entrance

Yes, they were in orange high-vis. One was full orange jacket and trousers. The other vest, trousers, and I think some.kind of torso harness

If they were carriage cleaners, then the odds of them being on the platform to see us as opposed to in a carriage out of sight would have been low (though we probably would have found them if they hadn't found us). And they weren't told to look out for us, the one I spoke to was clear that they...

Chiltern have replied to my report, saying that the station management team apologise and are investigating. They also say they won't be able to inform me of the outcome of the investigation due to employee confidentiality, which I do understand.

I was very lucky that those trackside workers were there at 1:30am. I wonder what the odds of that were

Might not have thought to look for one, I was so tired. But hopefully I would have noticed one in the immediate vicinity

Knowing more than the average layperson about uk railways, I would have googled Network Rail Emergency Telephone if those workers hadn't been there to let us out. Otherwise I would have called 999.

The train staff didn't suggest it, or even mention it. I saw the train arrive 2 platforms over, but assumed it would be queued behind us and we'd leave first - last announcement was that the new train crew were due very soon (it wasn't soon). It wasn't until it left ahead of us that the...

Thanks. I have already reported it on the Chiltern website.

I was on the 22:30 from Marylebone last night (4th March). It was delayed for 90 minutes at Banbury waiting for train crew, due to the earlier major incident (not commenting on that). The last train of the night, the 23:07, overtook us at Banbury while we were waiting. When we finally got to...

If I was a driver, and it happened to me, I'm not sure I could ever get back in the cab.

Thanks for the info, most appreciated 1644183459 Police have boarded the train and provided an update. It was this train that hit the person, relief driver is on the way. 1644183698 The train is to be moved to Wembley so the passengers can disembark

The driver sounding upset would imply it was the train my family member is on, 8pm from Marylebone, which I assume is 1R60. Live arrivals for Leamingson shows the train as cancelled. What is likely to happen with the train? Will the passengers be taken off, or will they have to wait until the...

Oh no, that's horrible. Can I ask where you found that info?

Been texting with a family member who is on an 8pm train out of Marylebone towards Leamington, the train has been held near Wembley. National Rail website says emergency services responding to an incident, and my family member reports the driver sounding upset, 6 ambulances, police vans...
