Train passengers are facing delays after a trespasser was spotted on the railway. Southeastern says the person was found on the line in the Maidstone West area. It left trains between Strood and Paddock Wood unable to run while members of the British Transport Police (BTP) and Network Rail attended. Officers have since apprehended the suspect. Trains are running again, however commuters are facing delays while the operator gets trains back to normal. Some services are being held by around 30 minutes between Maidstone and Strood. BTP has been contacted for more information.
