The woman died after a serious fall in April
By Waltham Forest Echo

Transport for London revealed that a woman died earlier this year after falling down the stairs at Walthamstow Central Tube station.

A report prepared for a meeting of TfL’s Safety, Sustainability and Human Resources Panel next week revealed the woman died some time after a serious fall on 7th April.

The report states: “On 7 April 2022, a customer fell down the stairs at station entrance into Walthamstow station ticket hall.

“She sustained a serious head injury, and we were subsequently informed that the customer had sadly died as a result of her injuries.”

The unidentified woman was the only person to die on TfL property between April and June but the report reveals 43 people were injured during that period.

Transport for London have been contacted for comment.
