THREE people have died after being struck by a train.

British Transport Police described the deaths at the Loughborough Junction station, near Brixton in south London, as “unexplained”.

Detective Superintendent Gary Richardson said: “My team are now working hard to understand what happened and how these three people came to lose their life on the railway.

“My thoughts are with the family and friends of these three people.

“At this time, we are treating their deaths as unexplained as we make a number of immediate inquiries.”
