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 was discovered.

Hampshire Police and British Transport Police are investigating the incident.

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

The railway line between Reading and Basingstoke was closed for about three hours before being reopened at around 10am.
