Person dies after being struck by train near Bridge of Allan

A PERSON has died after being struck by a train near Bridge of Allan.

Emergency services were called to the incident beside the town's railway station at around 5am on Wednesday.

Train services between Glasgow and Aberdeen were disrupted as a result, with the line between Stirling and Perth completely closed.

ScotRail confirmed the line has since reopened, with disruption lasting until shortly before 10am.

A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: "Officers were called to a report of a casualty on the tracks just before 5am today near Bridge of Allan railway station.

"Officers and paramedics attended and, sadly, a person was pronounced deceased.

"The incident is not thought to be suspicious and a file will be prepared for the procurator fiscal."
