A person has been hit and killed by a train at Avondale Railway Station.

Police and ambulance are at the scene and the station on Blockhouse Bay Road has been closed.

The incident, which happened about 7am, is expected to cause major disruption to the rail network.

The Britomart to Morningside and Waitakere to Henderson routes are still running as normal.

But train passengers on other routes are being advised to find alternative ways of getting to work.

@ maria, agreed, it's so tragic :( @Shontelle, you should just shut the hell up kid, only thing you heard was crap spoken by your stupid little school friends, and while you were all standing around at school talking crap like this with your idiot friends some of us were on that train and the poor drivers life was changed forever.
