Services on the London St Pancras-Derby-Sheffield route are affected.
East Midlands Railway said on Thursday 16 November:
‘Emergency services have attended an incident between Derby and Chesterfield this morning. Sadly, we’ve been notified that a person has been hit by a train.
‘This is affecting services on our London St Pancras-Derby-Sheffield route.
‘Emergency services remain on site and are carrying out investigations. Whilst these continue, the route between Derby and Chesterfield will be closed. We have no estimate at this time for when the line will re-open.’
‘Trains cannot run between Derby and Chesterfield whilst investigations are completed.
‘Trains on our London St Pancras – Derby – Sheffield route will be diverted where possible, adding up to 40 minutes to journey times.
Trains which cannot be diverted will start/terminate at Derby, not calling at Chesterfield or Sheffield.
‘We currently have no estimate for when the line will re-open as investigations are being completed. Once the line has re-opened we will work to restore our advertised timetable as soon as possible.’
