Rail passengers face severe disruption across South Western Railway (SWR) network lines this afternoon after a person was hit by a train between Feltham and Staines.

All railway lines between the two stations are currently blocked to allow emergency services access to the track, with all power to the line switched off in the affected area.

SWR said Disruption is expected to last until at least 6:30pm today (Tuesday, 10 November).

Services running through the area, including trains between London Waterloo, Reading, Windsor & Eton Riverside, and Weybridge, are subject to short-notice cancellations, delays, and structural route alterations.

Key service alterations

• London Waterloo to Windsor & Eton Riverside: Trains will run to and restart from Staines, though SWR aims to operate an hourly shuttle service where possible. Some services will only run as far as Twickenham and reform back towards London via Hounslow, calling at all stations between Hounslow and Barnes Bridge.
• London Waterloo to Weybridge (via Brentford): Trains will operate as far as Hounslow before forming services back to Waterloo via Twickenham, calling at Whitton.
• London Waterloo to Reading: Services in both directions are being diverted via Weybridge and Virginia Water.
• Weybridge to Virginia Water: Where train crew and stock permit, a shuttle service will operate calling at all intermediate stations.

Station staff and help points are available across the network to assist passengers with alternative routes.

The British Transport Police and London Ambulance Service have been approached for comment.
