Trains were unable to travel via Woolwich on the line between London Bridge and Dartford as power had to be switched off to allow emergency services to respond.

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "Officers were called to Belvedere railway station at 10.49am on March 11 to reports of a casualty on the tracks.

"Paramedics also attended, and a man was pronounced dead at the scene.

"This incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
