Incident at Rugby - major delays

[Alistair G.]

Ayone travelling on the morning peak on the WCML, be prepared for a delay... No ideas of time at this point, but 1F10 involved in incident. Can't say anymore, sure others will be able to let you know when the news spreads

A person has been hit by a train near Rugby.
Because of this, there are delays of up to 60 minutes between Rugby and Milton Keynes Central. These delays will continue until further notice.

According to National Rail twitter

Wasn't sure the reason, just had a text from a friend so thought I should share the information for any commuters. Thanks for clearing things up daz28

Fatality causing major headaches. Happened around 0700. Friday is the quietest morning but is still causing chaos. Trains must be turning & heading back North. Advice for Rugby commuters is to make their way back to Nuneaton for alternative routes via Leicester or drive to Reading line stations.

Apparently the person got themselves on to the Hillmorton flyover and jumped off around 0645. 2700 minutes and counting.

Do delay minutes from a one-under get charged to Network Rail?

Generally yes. There are (rare) exceptions, but I won't go into the details on a puclic forum; it's not suitable for family viewing.

This is a railway forum so you might as well. Many of us have been through it so it is interesting to know. I find the whole thing a learning curve.
