A fatal incident occurred at the Green Park Underground Station in central London on November 25, 2023, when a person was struck by a train. British Transport Police responded to the scene at approximately 15:50 following reports of a casualty on the tracks. Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter, but the individual was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities confirmed that the incident is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner, according to reports from MyLondon.

Emergency services at the site included an ambulance crew, a paramedic operating a fast response car, an incident response officer, and members of the Hazardous Area Response Team from the London Ambulance Service. The incident led to significant disruption and overcrowding at the station.

As a result of the incident, there were severe delays across the entire Victoria Line, particularly affecting services between Walthamstow Central and Warren Street. Passengers were advised to seek alternative routes due to the ongoing situation. Transport for London’s official status update indicated that there was no service between Warren Street and Brixton, with severe delays impacting the remainder of the line.

A message broadcasted at St Pancras Station informed commuters that gates were closed due to “massive overcrowding” at the Victoria Line platform linked to the incident. In light of the disruption, tickets were accepted on various alternative services, including London Bus, Great Northern, Thameslink, and Southeastern services.

Passengers expressed their frustration on social media platforms, with one user advising others to avoid the Victoria Line due to the station closure. The incident has raised concerns among regular commuters in the area as they navigate the aftermath of this tragic event.
