A woman has been hit by a train at Ashford station, sparking mass cancellations across the south London and Surrey.

The British Transport Police were called at 10.15am after the woman was hit by the train, and are working with paramedics from South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb) to treat her for her injuries.

A spokeswoman said that the severity of her injuries at this stage are unknown and paramedics were being supported by the fire service.

She added that the incident was not being treated as suspicious.

The line has been reopened but services may be delayed for up to 50 minutes, with disruption expected until 1pm.

A knock-on effect has caused delays on other services through Twickenham and Weybridge as there are only two lines available in the area.

A South West Trains spokesman said some trains may be cancelled, altered or revised at short notice, with some starting from different locations or going through an alternative route.

The services affected are below:

  • Services between Reading and London Waterloo and services between London Waterloo and Reading will divert via Chertsey and Addlestone where possible.
  • Services between London Waterloo and Weybridge will be cancelled.
  • Services between London Waterloo and Windsor and Eton Riverside will terminate at Twickenham. Services between Windsor and Eton Riverside and London Waterloo will start at Twickenham.

Passengers can use their tickets on Great Western Railway services via reasonable routes, as well as the District Line and London bus services between Staines and Feltham.

Replacement bus services are in operation from Weybridge to Staines and Windsor and Eton Riverside to Hounslow.

Passengers at Addlestone and Chertsey will need to use the help point at their stations.
