ALL lines are blocked after a person was hit by a train.

Southern Rail made the announcement this morning just after 9.15am that a person had been hit between Southampton Central and Havant.

Trains that run between London Victoria/Brighton and Southampton Central will start and terminate at Bognor.

The rail operator is saying people should allow 90 minutes extra for their journey.

A spokesman said: “It's with great sadness that we report a person has been hit by a train between Southampton Central and Havant.

“All lines are blocked while emergency services are on site dealing with this tragic incident.”

Rail replacement buses have been requested by South Western Railway but these will take some time to arrive on site.
