THERE are delays on rail services in and out of Cornwall this afternoon after a person was hit by a train.

All lines have now reopened between Tiverton Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads and Castle Cary.

Trains are now able to run, but, as services return to normal, some may be delayed by up to 60 minutes, cancelled or be revised.

Disruption is expected until 2.45pm, National Rail said.
