Trains between Swindon and Chippenham halted due to ‘person on the tracks’

Trains between Swindon and Chippenham have been halted while police deal with someone on the tracks.

One passenger told Wiltshire 999s that an announcement on board a train, which has been stationary for half an hour so far, said ‘there is a person on the tracks, and police are currently in pursuit’.

An armed response vehicle and marked police were seen parked at Chippenham Train Station.
