Emergency services descended on Hammersmith Underground Station in London following reports of a casualty on the tracks. Witnesses indicated that access to the station was restricted, leading to delays on the District Line. Photographs from the scene depict a significant presence of emergency vehicles, including police cars, ambulances, and fire engines. Nick Soar, a witness at the scene, described the situation as distressing. He stated, "My thoughts are very much with any injured people and the emergency services who will face I'm sure horrible scenes. All very brave." He noted that emergency personnel were working diligently to assist those affected, while Transport for London (TfL) staff were guiding passengers to alternative stations. Reports indicated that both the District and Piccadilly Lines had their entrances closed, with shutters down. Soar recalled seeing signs advising travellers to "make alternative arrangements." As of now, there are delays on the District Line between Earl's Court and Ealing Broadway. However, services on the Piccadilly Line have resumed between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner. Hammersmith station has since reopened, and London Underground services are once again stopping there. Witnesses reported seeing multiple ambulances and fire engines at the scene. Soar mentioned that he observed paramedics rushing in with equipment at approximately 8:36 am. TfL has confirmed that there has been a casualty on the track, prompting the swift response from emergency services.
