Quote 'Person on track' accident at Twickenham (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/002B/production/_85634000_twickenham1.jpg) Emergency services at Twickenham station Emergency services are at Twickenham railway station after an "incident involving a person on the track", South West Trains has said. The company said a "customer has had an accident" and train services in both directions would be delayed as crews attended the scene. It happened as thousands of fans left Twickenham following England's victory over Fiji in the first clash of the rugby World Cup. The station is being evacuated.
