Has special branch got involved? Or did they leaf the scene?

Apparently they sent tree fellers.

 

[MotCO]

I imagine there will be a root and branch investigation.

Hope it's not left them stumped!

On a trunk route too.

You wood not believe it... A tree is on the tracks causing delays for passengers and staff and people think it’s a good idea to make tree puns.

 

[silverfoxcc]

Have they twigged what caused it ?

 

[ExRes]

Let's hope a report was properly logged

 

[EvoIV]

Leaf it out yew saps! Some treemendous puns though.

Calls for Doctor Beeching? Should have called for Doctoring Beech.

Nurse! He's out of bed again...

Edit: Line reopened about half eleven with some remnants left on platform for later clearing.

 

[SouthStand]

Go on, let's have a laugh. How long did it take them to clear it?

Joking apart, a tree coming down on a platform is a rather bad thing to happen - imagine if the platform had been crowded.

 

[Freightmaster]

If it wasn't for the virus, Birmingham New Street would be crowded on a Saturday...

Probably all the regular commuters still watching their feeds with nothing better to do than pun away!
