Commuters are facing delays at a railway station due to trespassers.

Emergency services are still at Ashford International Station following the incident a short time ago.

Power to the lines at the station were turned off while emergency services dealt with the incident, which started at just before 3pm.

The number of trespassers and the exact nature of the incident are unknown at this stage.

Power has now been restored to the lines and trains are starting to move again, but services are expected to be delayed following the disruption.

A Southeastern spokesman said in an announcement on twitter: "Trains are starting to move again on all lines through #AshfordInternational, however services may still be delayed following the earlier disruption. "Emergency services remain on site at the station dealing with the incident."

British Transport Police have been contacted for comment.
