A man remains in hospital following an incident at the weekend which saw train services suspended.

As reported, replacement buses were brought in after the line between Sittingbourne and Sheppey was closed.

A British Transport Police spokesman said this lunchtime: “Officers were called to the line near Queenborough railway station at around 8.56am on Saturday following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

“Paramedics also attended, and a person was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The incident is not being treated as suspicious.”

In an earlier version of this article this morning, KentOnline reported that the man concerned had sadly died at the scene.

However, this was incorrect and based on information given by the British Transport Police.

Unfortunately, the Queenborough incident and another one elsewhere were mixed up - leading to the mistake.

KentOnline apologises for any upset caused by this misunderstanding which was out of our control.
