Viral video shows Just Eat driver toss delivery into Thameslink during heatwave chaos
A video shared on social media shows a Just Eat driver making a difficult delivery by throwing items into a stranded Thameslink train from the ground below, during Saturday's disruption. The clip, posted on X, shows the driver standing at trackside level and accurately throwing several items through the open doors of a stationary Thameslink train positioned on raised track above. People can be seen waiting in the trains doorway ready to catch the items and other passengers watch from the railings. Cheers can be heard when a successful throw and catch is made. The incident took place during a major service failure on June 21, when a train fault between London Blackfriars and Herne Hill left multiple services immobilised in extreme heat. Around 1,800 passengers were eventually evacuated with assistance from emergency services. Temperatures reached 33C during the disruption, and many of the stranded carriages were without air conditioning. Someone ordered Just Eat to their broken down Thameslink train and managed to get it delivered 😭 — UB1UB2 West London (Southall) (@UB1UB2) June 22, 2025 Earlier that day, a spokesperson for Govia Thameslink Railway and Network Rail said: 'Earlier today, a fault on a train near Loughborough Junction brought all services to a halt in the area, three of them outside station platforms. 'Without power and air conditioning on such a hot day, we pulled all resources from across Sussex and Kent to get personnel on site to safely evacuate passengers as quickly as possible along the track. 'This would have been a difficult and uncomfortable experience for our passengers and we are truly sorry.' British Transport Police said officers were called just before 11am and assisted in the evacuation. London Fire Brigade confirmed it sent 25 firefighters to the scene to help passengers disembark. We have approached Just Eat for further comment.

Louisville under heat advisory for multiple days. What to know from the National Weather Service
The National Weather Service in Louisville issued a heat advisory June 22 for counties in Kentucky and southern Indiana, as heat index values are expected to top 100 degrees for several days. The advisory is in effect until June 24 at 8 p.m. For Louisville, meteorologists with the weather service estimate heat indices, which factor in the humidity, will be as high as 104 degrees June 22 and 24. The city may not see a day without a heat index value above 100 until after June 27. "The combination of temperatures in the low to mid 90s and dew points in the mid 70s will result in heat index values between 100-105 over the next several days," NWS Louisville officials stated in a Facebook post. "During this time, stay hydrate(d) and avoid being outside for long periods of time and take frequent breaks. Always remember to double check your vehicle for children and pets." In a statement issued June 22, meteorologists with the National Weather Service's central office reported a "dangerous heat wave" is active over the Midwest. Residents in densely populated urban areas are considered to be the most vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. "Light winds, sunny skies, and a lack of overnight cooling will pose a significant risk to those without adequate cooling and/or hydration," NWS officials stated. Louisville may not see a high temperature below 90 degrees for several days, according to a National Weather Service forecast issued June 22. Low temperatures are expected to be around 75 degrees or higher each day through June 27. After sunny and hot conditions impact Louisville on June 22, here's a closer look at the forecast over the next three days: Monday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Heat index values as high as 103. Light southwest wind. Monday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 76. Light southwest wind. Tuesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Calm wind.
