Police Update as Person Dies After Being Hit by Train
British Transport Police said a person died after being hit by a train, and replacement buses were running while services were disrupted.
A person died after being struck by a train on a Greater Anglia line near Ely at 11:16am on Friday, September 11, with British Transport Police confirming the fatality at the scene.
Routes between Cambridge North, Thetford, and Peterborough face major disruptions, affecting Greater Anglia, East Midlands Railway , and Great Northern services throughout the day.
Passengers may use alternative routes, including A2B route 9 between Ely and Cambridge, to navigate closures, and those delayed by 15 minutes or more may seek compensation through the Delay Repay scheme.
Greater Anglia works with Network Rail to reopen the line while emergency services remain on site, though operators currently have no accurate ETA for full service resumption.
Those needing support can call Samaritans for free on 116 123, available day or night, 365 days a year, as the rail operator coordinates with both Samaritans and The Campaign Against Living Miserably .
