A man who sparked a 24-hour standoff with police by “throwing items” onto the tracks at Kensington Olympia station has been arrested, bringing the incident to a close.
The disruption began early yesterday morning at 4:20 AM (June 17), when trains were first suspended due to the man’s actions at Russell Gardens Mews. As a result, no trains were running between Shepherd’s Bush and Clapham Junction, significantly affecting Southern Railway services between Watford Junction and East Croydon, leading to numerous cancellations and shortened routes.
