Anyone know anymore details on this? Theres a web site i found a few months ago called 28 days later, basically they explore underground places, things like tunnels, old derelict WW2 bases, culverts, storm drains etc, really interesting stuff. There was a thread asking about the secret station in Box tunnel & the quarries that lead off from there, i do hope they didnt just walk on in to have a look..

The incident happen just before Middle Hill tunnel with 1A08 ex 0655 BTM to Pad. Line was closed for an hour opening to single line down direction working at 0800. I have read the report and its sounds very much like suicide. I do have more details but I donÃ†t think itÃ†s appropriate to post here due to the nature and not pleasantness of it
