On the morning of March 19, a person lost their life after being struck by a train at Marks Tey station in Essex, a quiet halt on the line between Colchester and Witham. Emergency services arrived swiftly, but could not alter the outcome. In the hours that followed, the regional rail network absorbed the disruption, and investigators moved through their established procedures — ruling out suspicion, and preparing the matter for a coroner whose task it will be to understand how a life came to end beside the tracks.
