A MAN has died after being hit by a train near Marlow railway station this afternoon.

Police said he was hit by the 1.06pm service from Marlow to Maidenhead, near a foot crossing between Gossmore Lane and Fieldhouse Lane, and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

The man has not yet been identified. British Transport Police say the death is not being treated as suspicious.

The line between Marlow and Maidenhead was closed for a time due to the incident, with a replacement bus service running in its place, although the line has now been handed back to Network Rail by police investigating the collision.
