Person taken to hospital after falling onto tracks at Aberdeen train station

Emergency services were scrambled to Aberdeen train station on Wednesday evening to assist a passenger on the tracks.

Two fire engines and three ambulances were in attendance outside the railway station around 5.15pm following reports of a person on the tracks.

Paramedics took a female casualty to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for assessment of a hip injury.

A British Transport Police spokeswoman said: “The incident is not being treated as suspicious”.

The area was cordoned off while police, fire and ambulance services responded to the incident.

A cordon was placed around the scene, which has since been removed.

A Network Rail spokesman confirmed one of the train lines had to be closed because of the incident.

He said: “We had to close one of the lines at Aberdeen station for around 80 minutes earlier this evening while emergency services helped a passenger.

“A small number of trains were delayed but services are running again now.”
