British Transport Police (BTP) officers were called to Loughborough Junction in South London shortly after 7.30am on Monday morning after "multiple bodies" were found.

Emergency services rushed to the scene, where three people were pronounced dead shortly after.

BTP described the deaths as "unexplained".

Authorities haven't yet disclosed any information regarding the victims as they are currently working to identify the deceased and inform their families.


A "number of enquiries" are also underway to clarify why and how the three people happened to be on the tracks.

Detective Superintendent Gary Richardson from British Transport Police, said: ?My team are now working hard to understand what happened and how these three people came to lose their life on the railway.

?My thoughts are with the family and friends of these three people.

?At this time, we are treating their death as unexplained as we make a number of immediate enquiries






I would ask anyone who was near to Loughborough Junction this morning, and saw something which they think might be relevant, please contact us as soon as possible.?

BTP warned the tragic event is set to create delays.

Officials advised people to check with National Rail Enquiries before starting their journeys.

National Rail Enquiries warned there won't be any service to and from this station for the "next two hours"



Transport for London (TfL) reported a "good service" on all lines, including the Victoria line serving Brixton, the TfL station nearest to Loughborough Junction.

Police officers urged those holding any information regarding the event to send a text to 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 93 of 18/06/2018.

So someone's trying to start a conspiracy theory already - claiming it was an act of terrorism & that the victims were deliberately pushed onto the tracks from a crowded platform.

Thing is though, I'm having trouble seeing a station platform near that recovery scene. I'm not even sure the closest station is still in use


According to the latest tweets from journos, it sounds like the victims might have been tagging the industrial area where they were killed - police apparently found spray cans scattered at the scene & are currently photographing graffiti on the barriers along the tracks

Guaranteed there'll be people who believe these unverified claims below instead

Definitely looks like it was graffiti artists, as well as the scene being in an area far from station platforms + surrounded by graffiti + spray cans scattered around the bodies, the victims were 3 guys, all young.




Also, it's a fucking travesty that the dickhead running that conspiracy account & couple more like them couldn't have died in place of these 3 young artists

Three men who died after being hit by a train in south London could have been graffiti artists, according to a British Transport Police officer.

The bodies of the three, aged 19, 23 and 23, were found at Loughborough Junction, near Brixton, just after 7.30am today.


The three men were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, British Transport Police (BTP) said in a statement. Only one of them has so far been identified.

Officers were seen taking photographs of graffiti at the junction, which is an area popular with graffiti artists.

At this stage it is not known when they were struck by the train but it is thought to have been before 5am when passenger services start running in the area.
