Arrests: Police carried out a string of raids on Friday (Picture: PA)

A woman who died on a train may have suffered a serious blow to her head while leaning out of a window, police said.

Officers from British Transport Police and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) are investigating the death, which is “not being treated as suspicious”.

The woman received serious head injuries on Saturday night, at about 10.10pm, on a train travelling between Bath and Keynsham, police said.

In a statement, BTP said: “Officers from British Transport Police attended along with colleagues from Avon and Somerset Police and South Western Ambulance Service but despite their best efforts, the woman died at the scene.

“Our investigation remains at an early stage, but initial enquiries suggest the woman may have been leaning out of a window when she suffered a blow to the head.

“Officers are currently working to confirm her identity and inform her next of kin.”
