Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has released a statement following a knife attack on an 18:25 LNER service from Doncaster to London Kings Cross this past Saturday.
The mass stabbing left 10 people wounded, with nine suffering life-threatening injuries. Two suspects were arrested on the scene.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said:My thoughts are with those who have been impacted by the shocking incident in Huntingdon last night, especially those still in hospital today.
I’d like to pay enormous tribute to the staff and officers who responded, and the public for their patience and cooperation.
I am receiving regular updates from the British Transport Police who are leading the response to this awful incident, as well as LNER and other organisations involved.
Trains are now running in the area, however Huntingdon station remains closed with trains passing through. Passengers will see a high visibility presence of officers at stations and on trains throughout today who are there to reassure the public.
