Person pronounced dead at Shropshire railway station

The incident led to delays on the line

A person has died after falling ill at a train station in south Shropshire.

A British Transport Police spokesperson has said officers were sent to Craven Arms railway station shortly before 2.30pm on Tuesday (November 10) after a person was reported ill.

Paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service were also called to the incident.

The transport police spokesperson said: Officers were called to Craven Arms railway station at 2.29pm today (November 10) following reports that a person had fallen ill at the station.

“Officers attended alongside paramedics. However, sadly a person was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The incident is not being treated as suspicious.”

It comes after Transport for Wales said this afternoon that rail users faced delays between Shrewsbury and Hereford because of an incident involving emergency services.
