Police and ambulance crews are responding to reports of a collision involving two trains in the south east of England. Multiple people have been injured in the incident, UK media has reported.

British Transport Police said it was responding to an incident 60 miles north of London.

A video posted on social media showed what appeared to be the front of one train entangled with the back of another, with both still on the tracks.

The East of England Ambulance Service said it had dispatched an air ambulance and urged people to avoid the area.

Transport Minister Heidi Alexander said she was "deeply concerned" by reports of the collision in a post on X.

Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said crews were at the scene of the incident just south of the town of Bedford and also called on the public to steer clear.

Train operator East Midlands Railway said it was unable to run services in or out of London for the rest of the day, while Thameslink said all lines between Luton and Bedford were blocked due to a problem under investigation.

This is a developing story.
