A 47-year-old man has died after being hit by a train at a railway station in Fife, prompting local services to be halted and redirected.
Emergency services were called to Kinghorn Station, between Kirkcaldy and Burntisland on the southern edge of the Kingdom, shortly before 5pm on Thursday April 20. Despite the efforts of medics, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Scotland says it has begun making enquiries into the full circumstances of the tragic incident. Passengers on the affected train are understood to have been made to wait onboard the train for some time before being allowed to disembark.
