Services at Ashford International station are back to normal after they were delayed because of concerns for the welfare of a man seen near the tracks.

A temporary block was put on all train services going in and out of the busy station this morning after fears were raised over his safety.

A spokesman for the British Transport Police said: "We were called at 9.44am after concerns for the welfare of a man at Ashford station.

"Although he did not go onto the tracks a precautionary block was put on the railway lines.

"The man has now been taken away by an ambulance."
