RAIL users travelling between Cambridge and Ipswich faced delays after a man was killed by a train.
Journeys were delayed by up to 50 minutes after the man was hit by a train and killed at a level crossing in Cambridgeshire.
Paramedics were called to the Yarrow Road crossing, in Fulbourn, near Cherry Hinton, at 9.37am and pronounced the 36-year-old Cambridge man dead at the scene.
The train was travelling at 60mph and bound for Cambridge from Ipswich.
British Transport Police say the driver saw a man walk out from bushes beside the track but was unable to stop in time.
The death is not currently being treated as suspicious.
A bus service replaced National Express East Anglia trains between Dullingham and Newmarket and delays affected routes through Cambridge, Dullingham, Newmarket, Kennett, Bury St Edmunds, Thurston, Elmswell, Stowmarket, Needham Market and Ipswich.
