A man has died after being hit by a train on a railway line between Kent and London.

The fatality occurred at Belvedere station on Saturday morning.

Trains were unable to travel via Woolwich on the line between London Bridge and Dartford as power had to be switched off to allow emergency services to respond.

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "Officers were called to Belvedere railway station at 10.49am on March 11 to reports of a casualty on the tracks.

"Paramedics also attended, and a man was pronounced dead at the scene.

"This incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
