⚠️⚠️ – We’re sad to report that trains are unable to run between Liverpool Street and Shenfield because of a person hit by a train. We will be supporting the emergency services and Network Rail where we can. In the meantime, please allow extra time for your journey. – ⚠️⚠️ pic.twitter.com/LpKFpMHSM9
