"Major Incident at Leighton Buzzard"

[Andy Pacer]

Currently sat on 1A28 which has been stopped (unscheduled) at Rugby due to what the Train Manager has described as a "Major incident at Leighton Buzzard".

Seems there's a block on all lines.

NRE says:

A person has been hit by a train between Watford Junction and Milton Keynes Central while the emergency services carry out their work all lines will be blocked. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled or severely delayed by up to 45 minutes.
Major disruption is expected until 15:00.

Thanks, I'd been having a look but hadn't come across anything.

A bit of a stack up, already been slow going due to safety inspections around Colwich so quite congested now.

If non suspicious, BTP will aim to get all lines reopened within ninety minutes of their attendance.
