A person has died after being struck by a train travelling from Aberdeen to London Kings Cross.

The individual was hit on the line just north of the station by what is thought to have been a Virgin East Coast train.

All trains in the area have been put on hold for the time being, with streets in the area being closed off by police officers.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: “We were called to the Broughty Ferry area after a person was struck by a train.

“Officers attended along with the ambulance service. Sadly a person died at the scene.”

The spokeswoman said the incident was not being treated as suspicious.

She said: “We are now working to identify them and to inform their next of kin. Our thoughts are with all those involved. ”

ScotRail confirmed the line reopened shortly before 11am.

A spokesperson said: “We are now working to restore services to normal running but, due to the length of time the line was closed, there will be some reactionary delays while we do so.”

They added that services are beginning to get back to normal, but warned “residual delays” are still likely.
