A person has been struck by a train near Lincoln.
East Midlands Railways said at 9:30 am on 14 June:
‘We are sad to report that a person has been hit by a train. This has occurred between Lincoln and Grimsby and is disrupting our trains on the Leicester/Lincoln/Grimsby and Barton/Cleethorpes routes.
‘At present emergency services are en-route to manage the incident. We are waiting for an estimate of when they will arrive.’
How does this affect my train?
‘Trains will be suspended between Lincoln & Grimsby until the line has reopened.
Trains may also be suspended on the Barton and Cleethorpes route as well.
‘At present we are expecting the line to re-open in the next 2 hours. As soon as the line has reopened, our priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again.
‘We expect our advertised timetable to resume on the affected routes by 1130.’
