Intoxicated person plan needed on Tube - coroner
Briefly

Transport for London (TfL) has been urged to develop a comprehensive safety plan to protect intoxicated passengers after the accidental death of artist Sarah Cunningham, 31. Cunningham was struck by a train after wandering onto the tracks at Chalk Farm station. A coroner's report highlighted that TfL's considerations regarding intoxicated individuals do not appear to be adequately integrated into corporate planning. While TfL has previously acknowledged the risks associated with intoxication, the current strategies lack actionable steps to safeguard passengers, necessitating a more urgent response from TfL by June 16.
The coroner emphasized the need for Transport for London to prioritize the safety of intoxicated individuals in their planning, considering the inherent risks involved in travel.
Despite acknowledging that intoxicated passengers pose a risk to themselves and others, TfL's current corporate strategies do not effectively address these safety concerns.
