Person Dies After Being Hit by Train near Kenton Station

A fatal incident involving a train brought widespread disruption to services on the London Euston line on Saturday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to Kenton Road at Harrow station at around 1.25pm on February 7 after reports that a person had been struck by a train. Despite the attendance of officers and medical crews, the individual was pronounced dead at the scene.
