A person was struck by a train close to Prestonpans last night.
The incident happened at about 6.30pm, leading to train services in the county being suspended for several hours.
The condition of the person has not yet been confirmed. The emergency services were in attendance.
Some replacement bus services were in operation.
Scotrail said on social media last night: “Sadly, due to a person being struck by a train between Musselburgh and Longniddry, services between Edinburgh and North Berwick are suspended.
”We're working closely with the emergency services.”
