Andrew Haines, the Chief Executive of Network Rail said: "I am devastated to confirm that a colleague lost his life in a tragic accident near Surbiton. This is an incredibly sad time for the railway family.

"My thoughts and those of everyone at Network Rail are with the friends and family of the colleague involved.

"Our immediate priority now is to cooperate fully with the British Transport Police and Rail Accident Investigation Branch to fully understand what happened."

Manuel Cortes, general secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association union, said: "Any loss of life on our railways is a tragedy.

"It would be wrong to speculate at this time about what has gone wrong, but a full and thorough investigation must take place, so lessons can be learned.

"Our union has been warning Network Rail about the alarming number of near misses and fatalities we have seen over the past year.

"Our Network Rail members do so much to keep our railways running smoothly day in, day out, and must be able to do this in a safe environment.

"Our union will never compromise on safety, and safety can never be taken for granted.

"It is simply not acceptable in this day and age that people go out to work and end up losing their lives."
