A WOMAN has died after she fell ill on a train travelling through Chelmsford this afternoon (July 21).
Emergency services, including the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance, were called at around 1.30pm, but she died at the scene.
Police were seen close to Chelmsford railway station along Duke Street and in the nearby carpark as three ambulances and paramedic cars parked outside the station.
The air ambulance landed next to Parkway.
An East of England Ambulance spokesman said: "We were called at 1.30pm to Chelmsford railway station after reports that a woman had been taken ill on a train.
"The ambulance service dispatched several resources to the scene including Hertfordshire Air Ambulance.
"Sadly despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene."
A passenger outside the station said: "I heard someone had a heart attack, it's obviously serious as there's so many ambulances and police cars here."
The identity of the woman is not known and British Transport Police has not commented at this stage.
