A trespass incident has been reported in the Crystal Palace area earlier this afternoon, and trains had been stopped for safety. Emergency services and Network Rail attended on-site to remove the person.
Trespassing on the railway is extremely dangerous. Trains run at all times, often without warning, and many areas have high-voltage third rails, steep drops, and other hazards.
It is also illegal, with serious penalties for obstructing the railway.
