An update has been issued on the condition of a person left fighting for their life after being hit by a train earlier this week.
The patient was left with "life-threatening" injuries after the incident at Romford station on Monday (August 12) at around 1pm.
They were taken to hospital as a "priority" by paramedics from the London's Air Ambulance trauma team, and the British Transport Police has today (August 14) confirmed that there is no change in their condition.
Emergency services - including an ambulance crew, paramedic car and two fire engines - were scrambled to the station after reports of a "casualty on the tracks".
The incident caused severe delays across the Elizabeth line from Whitechapel to Shenfield.
Minor disruptions continued to affect the line until 6pm on Monday.
Romford station was also closed for most of the afternoon, while buses along South Street were diverted following the incident.
