Awful news. Hope nobody fatally injured |  | |  |

It says between Stevenage and Peterborough. That would make it the London to Peterborough train most probably.
Sounds pretty bad but always best to wait for details rather than filling the gaps. |  |

It is, the whole line is currently shut. My mates who were at the game heading back to St. Neots have grabbed a taxi.
Hopefully the headline is worse than the reality and everyone affected is ok. |  | | |

It was a general comment and not aimed at you.
The point I was making was that the void is already being filled with online hate.
Didn't really appreciate your repost to be honest Frimmers. Unnecessary as that's not how I operate. | |

Sorry I thought you were saying i should have waited etc.
But I agree with you. Lots of 'guesses' on socials already. | |

It’s not a difficult “guess” is it ? | | | |

Multiple news outlets are reporting it was a Southbound train (Donny to Kings X) and happened shortly after leaving Peterborough.
Awful.
Looks like a very fast response from Cambridgeshire police and other first responders at Huntington. [Post edited 1 Nov 23:37]

I've just seen some footage on the news. I know Huntingdon station and the train is stopped at the southbound platform suggesting it was travelling to London, not from London.
Edit: Train now confirmed to be travelling from Doncaster. [Post edited 1 Nov 23:38]

Mine too!
As I said. Gav, Mark and Phil don't tolerate that so a quiet word was the least they could've expected, but it looks Maxwell's Silver Hammer has done the business.

If you look on a map its remarkable - Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue and Cambridgeshire Police HQ are both literally over the road from Huntingdon station.
Very fortuitous in that regard.
Also lucky that no passengers pulled any emergency stop levers and instead spoke to the driver via the green pull levers to allow the driver to stop in a station rather than middle of nowhere. There could have been far more stabbings had that happened. |  | | |

On another week there could’ve been, probably some sort of football fan on that train last night. But could’ve happened anywhere at any time I suppose.
Horrible to think about, those poor people on that train, essentially trapped and sitting ducks, just don’t ever think something like that would happen whilst you sit on a train.
I hope everyone will make a full recovery but 9 in hospital with life threatening injuries :( |  |

That is such a good point, could have been far far worse had that happened. |  | | |

It's not just luck, but some deliberate decisions. From the guardian live story:
"The train involved in last night’s incident was the 6.25pm LNER departure from Doncaster in South Yorkshire to London King's Cross. It left on time and called at Retford, Newark, Grantham and Peterborough.
The service departed from Peterborough on time at 7.30pm. One more call was expected 28 minutes later at Stevenage with arrival in the capital at 8.23pm.
The train was planned to travel through Huntingdon at 125mph on a fast track that does not have access to a platform.
While the attack was happening, the LNER train driver and the rest of the crew, working with the signallers, were able to divert the train to the slow line and bring it to a halt at the first available station within 14 minutes of departure from Peterborough, with armed police waiting.
This was an extraordinarily swift and professional response. Had the train either stopped short of the station, with access and escape difficult or continued to Stevenage, the outcome would have been far worse." |  | | |

Sounds like there were lots of heroes all round. Passengers saying one old boy took a stabbing to protect a young girl.
9/10 with life threatening injuries. Right after the Synagogue and Wayne Broadhurst murder. Zia Yusef is on LK's show this morning making political capital out of it already. |  |

I would imagine the train operators have plans in place for such events and the plan kicked in. The police initially declared Code Plato I understand, which is code word for a terror attack so they would have been acting at the highest level of response. [Post edited 2 Nov 9:33]

That is good.
The luck element I was referring to is that there are some levers on trains, like door egress handles I believe, that can bring the train to an emergency stop if pulled by a passenger. So it’s lucky no passengers did this in their panic. | | | |

Just watching police update on Beeb now. Perpetrators were 2 black British nationals. Not being treated as terrorism related. | | | |
