Incident Overview
On March 10, 2026, a person was critically injured after being hit by a train at Euston station, one of London’s busiest tube stations. Prior to this incident, Euston station was operating normally, serving thousands of commuters and travelers.
Emergency services were alerted at 8.56 am following reports of a casualty on the tracks. Upon arrival, they found a person with life-threatening injuries, who was subsequently transported to the hospital for urgent medical care.
The incident led to significant disruptions at Euston station. The Victoria line was suspended between Victoria and Highbury, causing delays for many passengers. As a result, the station was evacuated, and those on the train behind the incident were reportedly trapped in a tunnel for over an hour.
Passengers had to walk along the platform tracks to exit the station, highlighting the chaotic situation. An unnamed passenger described their experience, stating, “We walked along the length of our train, which had driven forward to connect to the train in front, and then hopped off onto the platform and have now left the station, which is being evacuated.”
