A woman has been killed after being struck by a train at Richmond station. Police were called and the station was closed. The incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: “Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service also attended but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the woman’s identity and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
Doubts remain over the future of Kingston’s weekend ticket offices, after similar cuts outside London were criticised last week by trade unionists as “profit-driven vandalism”. Passenger watchdog London Travel Watch (LTW), has now questioned why weekend office closures at the 11 SWT stations had been approved by the Government, but they had not yet been for Malden Manor, Motspur Park and Berrylands stations.
A spokesman for LTW said: “We hope there is an announcement soon, but it seemed strange for some office closures to be decided and some not. It’s certainly unusual for this scattered approach to the announcements, but it may have something to do with the recent change of Government.”
