Police are trying to identify a middle-aged man killed when he fell from a railway platform.

The man fell on to the tracks at Three Bridges station, into the path of an Eastbourne to Victoria train yesterday at 8.30am.

The train braked immediately and stopped at Gatwick, where it was taken out of service.

Passengers were transferred to alternative services and the incident led to 50-minute delays on London-bound trains.

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this sad incident."
