Emergency services have been called to railway line in Newmarket, after a person has been hit by a train.

“Officers from BTP and Suffolk police attended as well as medics from the ambulance service but regrettably a male was pronounced deceased at the scene.

“The incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious and the line was handed back to Network Rail at 6.48pm

“The train involved was the 4.44pm Cambridge to Ipswich service and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
