A person has been hit by a train outside of London this morning in a tragic incident, with a large number of services cancelled and delays around the city.
Train operator Thameslink wrote on X: “It is with great sadness that we report a person has been hit by a train between St Albans City and Luton. All lines are blocked between these stations whilst the emergency services work to deal with this incident. More to follow.”
A later statement warned commuters and travellers that no services will be stopping at Luton Airport Parkway until further notice, although some other Thameslink services are now up and running again.
