A woman has been killed and a child critically injured when they were
hit by a train travelling at above 100mph.

The youngster, thought to be a two-year-old girl, suffered multiple
injuries in the incident at Southall station, west London, on
Wednesday.

The woman died at the scene. British Transport Police (BTP) refused to
confirm reports the victims were mother and child.

A BTP spokesman said they are not treating the incident as suspicious.

Major disruptions are now expected and there is currently no service
between Reading and Paddington.

But First Great Western tickets will be accepted on South West Trains
services between Waterloo and Reading either direct or via
Basingstoke.
