A man found dead next to a railway line in Hampshire is believed to be a man in his early 50s from Oxfordshire.

At 7.15am emergency services were called to a section of the railway track close to Bramley railway station near Basingstoke where the body had been discovered.

Hampshire Police and British Transport Police are still investigating the incident.

However a spokesman for the transport police said the death is not believed to be suspicious.

The railway line between Reading and Basingstoke was closed for approximately three hours before being re-opened at around 10.05am.
