A person died after being struck by a train at Guildford Station today (Monday, December 18).

Police and paramedics were called following reports of a casualty on the tracks and the power was turned off.

The identity of the person who died has not yet been made public.

A statement from the British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Guildford Station at around 1.40pm following reports of a casualty on the tracks. Paramedics also attended.

“Sadly a person was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
