There has been an "incident" on the Armadale line (at the Kenwick Station). http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/Service ... fault.aspx

My guess would be possible Code 7/8.....That is the usual MO for what you're describing....

Due to the sensitivity of the incident - it's best not to publish the outcome - I am sure you know what I am implying...

Ah - I was in Maddington at about 11am and could hear a helicopter overhead doing laps - wondered what it was all about...

Personally I don't really mind if the nature of the incident is discussed, providing nobody is rude or disrespectful about it. After all, it's not much of a discussion forum, without discussion ;)

I'm assuming that someone has been hit by a train, whether by accident, or otherwise...

Dammit that was quick - I just came back to post the exact same link!

If The West have the story right (since details can be somewhat sketchy not long after something happens), it sounds pretty tragic for the guy involved, not to mention the train driver, witnesses, and so on.

I have no problem with the details of incidents like this - as far as I'm concerned, the better understanding there is overall, the better off we all are.

Are you guys serious! The sensitivity of the incident? This is a discussion forum on the internet. Sensitivity should not even be of consideration assuming you are factual and not slandering.
