A coroner's inquest into the death of Sarah Cunningham, a young artist who died after becoming severely intoxicated, has urged Transport for London (TfL) to improve safety measures for passengers who are intoxicated. Cunningham, who had consumed a mix of alcohol, cocaine, and ketamine, fell onto the tracks at Chalk Farm station and was struck by a train. Coroner Mary Hassell emphasized the need for TfL to realistically address the safety challenges posed by intoxicated passengers, which requires actionable plans rather than aspirational goals following previous incidents.
Public transport, especially the London Underground, is deemed a safe alternative for those intoxicated. However, TfL needs real plans to ensure passenger safety.
Sarah's family sees her tragic death as a pivotal reminder of TfL's oversight in handling intoxicated passengers on public transport.
