A person has been severely injured after being hit by a train between Sevenoaks and Orpington.

Train company Southeastern tweeted at 10.30am to say services were not running between the two stations.

The incident has affected both stopping services between Sevenoaks and Grove Park and also mainline services between Ashford International / Tonbridge and London.

Emergency services and Network Rail response staff were sent to the scene.

Replacement bus services were brought in between Sevenoaks and Orpington but at 12.04pm Southeastern said all the lines had been reopened, although warned some disruption to services would continue.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: "Officers were called to the line near Chelsfield railway station at 10.26am following reports of a casualty on the tracks.
