From ThisIsCornwall:

Quote
A man has been recovered from railway tracks and is being treated in hospital this evening after an incident which saw the railway network from Truro to Falmouth temporarily closed.

British Transport Police, Cornwall and Devon Police and ambulance services attended the scene at Melville Road in Falmouth at 7pm.

The male casualty was taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital by land ambulance and police are not treating the incident as suspicious.

First Great Western's website says "Owing to emergency services dealing with an incident between Truro and Falmouth Docks all lines are affected.

"Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 50 mins at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.

"Replacement road transport services are conveying passengers between Truro and Falmouth Docks in both directions until further notice."

'Level crossings on the railway network are safe - unless they are used in an unsafe manner.'   Discuss.

William Huskisson MP was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
