The British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) expresses its profound shock and horror at the tragic incident that occurred at Huntingdon on Saturday 1 November. Our thoughts are firmly with those who have been injured – we hope they make a swift recovery, along with other passengers and staff who were involved and impacted by those events.
We wish to pay tribute to the swift and professional response of all involved. The dedication and composure shown by LNER staff was exemplary and we commend the emergency services for their rapid and coordinated efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of passengers and staff.
In particular, BTPA recognises the actions of the British Transport Police officers who responded with courage and professionalism under extremely challenging circumstances. Their commitment to protecting the public and restoring safety is a testament to the values and resilience of the Force.
The Authority will continue to work closely with the Force in steadfast support of their vital role in safeguarding Britain’s railways and the travelling public.
