East Midlands Railway announced the incident on Friday afternoon. <\/p>\n
EMR said:<\/p>\n
\u2018Line closed between Luton and Kettering.<\/p>\n
\u2018We are sad to report that a person has been hit by a train. This has occurred between Luton and Kettering and is disrupting our trains on the London St Pancras\/Nottingham\/Sheffield and our London St Pancras\/Luton Airport Parkway\/Corby route.<\/p>\n
\u2018Emergency services have arrived on site and are managing the incident.<\/p>\n
\u2018Trains running through the area in both directions are unable to run between Luton and Kettering.<\/p>\n
\u2018At present we are expecting the line to re-open in the next 3 hours. 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 20:00.\u2019<\/p>\n
