Cardiff: Person hit by train leads to major travel delays

Passengers waited outside the station as lines were blocked

A person has been hit by a train in Cardiff, which has led to significant travel delays.

Many trains have been cancelled and others delayed following the incident at Cardiff Central Station on Sunday.

British Transport Police confirmed the person had been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

"The incident is not being treated as suspicious," the force said in a statement.

Crowds of passengers could be seen waiting outside the station, with Transport for Wales (TfW) reporting major delays on many routes.

While all lines have since reopened, passengers are being urged to check timetables before they travel.

"Passengers travelling to or from Cardiff Central," Network Rail said, "may continue to be delayed."
