District Line and C2C train services faced significant disruption earlier today following reports of a suspected jumper on the footbridge near Dagenham East Station. The incident, which occurred near Blackburn Road, prompted emergency services to rush to the scene, leading to the suspension of train services and road closures in the immediate area.
Transport for London (TfL) confirmed that both the District Line and C2C services were halted as a precautionary measure while emergency personnel dealt with the situation. A cordon was set up around the Blackburn Road section near the bridge to ensure public safety.
