COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - The West Coast Express trains are not running right now after a person was hit by a train at the Coquitlam Central Station shortly after 7 a.m.

Drew Snider with TransLink says there may have been an accident involving one of the trains and a person at the station.

"We would advise anyone who normally takes the West Coast Express to take an alternate means of getting into wherever they need to get to today. We don't know how long this is going to take to clear up."

He adds there may not be any service at all today. Some passengers tell us buses are being routed to pick-up passengers already waiting at other stations.
