Can you tell me more about the incident?
A trespass incident has been reported in the Bellingham area.
When trespassing is reported, trains in the area slow down or stop for safety. Emergency services and Network Rail will respond to remove the person from the tracks.
Trespassing on the railway is extremely dangerous. Trains run at all times, and you may not see or hear them until it's too late. Many areas also have a high-voltage third rail, steep drops, and other hazards.
It’s also illegal, with serious penalties for obstructing the railway.

You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.
Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
