Disruption on railway between Luton and Bedford after ‘person hit by train’ in Luton

The East Midlands Railway (EMR) line between Bedford and London St Pancras has been closed, with trains to Sheffield, Nottingham, Corby and London impacted.

EMR said: “Trains running through the area in both directions cannot run between Bedford and London St Pancras.

“At present we are expecting the line to re-open in the next 90 minutes. As soon as the line is open again, our priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again. We expect our advertised timetable to resume on the affected routes by 13:00.”

The train operator has “relaxed” some ticket restrictions, so those with an Advance Ticket may use it to travel on any of their trains on this route.

Off Peak or Super Off Peak ticket can be used on Peak Time trains on this route today (September 30).

EMR added: “Our trains are likely to experience extended delays or alterations. You should use alternative routes which will be most comfortable and quickest way to get where you need to be.”

This is a developing story, and we will update this page with new information as it becomes available.
