Person dies following incident on rail tracks at Balcombe

A person has died following a reported incident on rail tracks in Balcombe this morning (Friday, 24). British Transport Police said they were called to an area of railway just after 8.10am following a report of a casualty on the tracks. A person was pronounced dead at the scene, and officers are now trying to establish how they came to be on the tracks. Southern Rail said all lines are currently blocked between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges, with no trains running. The rail company said trains will be cancelled or revised to start or finish their journeys away from the affected area. Rail replacement services are currently running between the two stations.
