COMMUTERS traveling into London from Luton and Bedford are facing delays of up to 90 minutes after a person hit by a train at Leagrave station this morning (August 19) died.
The person was pronounced dead at the scene after being bit by an East Midlands train.
Emergency services are at the scene and Govia Thameslink Railway said there will be ‘short notice alterations’ to train timetables.
All lines at the station are blocked.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: “We were called to Leagrave station to a report of a person hit by a train.
“Our officers attended the incident, reported at 9.25am, alongside colleagues from Bedfordshire Police.
“Medics from East of England Ambulance Service also attended and a person was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Officers are now working to identify the person and inform their family.
“The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”

For goodness sake. There must be something wrong with the BedPan line to attract all those jumpers. Hardly a week goes by when we don’t read or hear that someone was "struck" by a train.
