A person has been hit by a train between Lancaster and Penrith.
The tragedy means all lines between Lancaster and Carlisle were temporarily blocked, but they have now reopened.
Ongoing delays are still expected for some time, said National Rail.
#Penrith - If you’ve been affected by what happened on the network today, there is always someone to talk to. You can contact the @Samaritans on 116 123 from any phone for a confidential chat.
