A man has died after being struck by a train at Kings Langley station. The incident, which is being described as “non-suspicious”, occurred just after 7.30pm last night with the man being pronounced dead at the scene.

Network rail resumed control of the line after 9.30 last night. A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman told My Kings News: “BTP officers were called to Kings Langley rail station, on Thursday, 27 February to a report that a man had been struck by a train. “Officers from BTP and Hertfordshire Police attended the incident, which was reported to BTP at 7.36pm and is currently being treated as non-suspicious.” He added: “Medics from the East of England Ambulance Service also attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
