Scene: A man has died after being struck by a train at the Wedgwood Station level crossing at Barlaston, near Stoke-on-Trent (pictured)
The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a report has been compiled for HM Coroner.
Train services on the West Coast mainline between Birmingham and Manchester were disrupted for more than two hours before returning to normal later in the evening.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: ‘British Transport Police officers were called to Wedgwood Station, Barlaston at 18.01 hours after a report that a man had been struck by a train.
‘The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was struck by the 13.45 CrossCountry Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly Train.’
A West Midlands Ambulance Spokesman said: ‘Two rapid response vehicles, one driven by an incident support officer attended, along with a Community First Responder, and an ambulance crew.
‘On arrival it was apparent from the outset that nothing could be done to save the casualty who it appears had collided with a train and who sadly was confirmed dead at the scene.’

Does the picture show the Wedgwood train level crossing? The last time I went
there, which admittedly is some years ago, there were no flashing lights or
gates. You just had to look both ways and pray before you crossed. Used to
frighten me to death having to drive over.- Susan Cooper, Nantwich, 01/2/2012 10:00 –
A quick look at Google maps, shows that there are warning lights and barriers preventing vehicles and pedestrians from crossing the lines in the event of a train, it also looks like one can see a long way down the straight track in both directions.

Will there be any of these crossings on the new high speed line ?.
