Passengers were evacuated from a station after a wartime bomb was discovered.

Police received reports of a suspected wartime bomb in Corys Road in Rochester at 12.36pm.

The Ministry of Defence has been contacted and Explosive Ordnance Disposal team attended the scene.

Trains were still using the line while the station was closed.

It reopened at 3pm and trains were able to call in.

Our reporter at the scene said: "The bomb squad turned up and spoke to the people outside the station before putting their sirens on and driving down Gas House Road and on to Rochester Riverside development.

"At least two army personnel are in attendance."

A Second World War bomb was discovered near the station in April last year.
