Title: Sussex train delayed by man climbing on top of carriage - 27 July 2011 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on July 27, 2011, 21:37:23 From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-14317169):
Quote A Sussex passenger train was stopped for nearly an hour after a man climbed on top of the carriage. The service from Haywards Heath to Littlehampton was halted near Durrington station in West Sussex at about 14:25 BST on Wednesday. British Transport Police (BTP) said a 39-year-old man was removed from the top of the train and taken to Worth Hospital for medical assessment. Services on the line resumed at about 15:30 BST. A British Transport Police spokesman added: "The incident was reported at 2.24pm and BTP attended alongside officers from Sussex Police and paramedics from South East Coast Ambulance Service. Trains were stopped whilst the 39-year-old man from Worthing was removed from the top of the train. He has been taken to Worthing Hospital for a medical assessment."
