Thoughts with all affected;

Cancellations to services between London Paddington and Slough


Due to a person being hit by a train between London Paddington and Slough all lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 10:00 29/12.

Female reported to have jumped onto track in front of train and suffered facial injuries.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Sounds like a miraculous escape.
