POLICE are investigating after a fatal incident near a railway station this afternoon.
Officers were called to tracks near Chapeltown at around 2.30pm following reports of a casualty.
The incident caused trains between Barnsley and Sheffield to be cancelled for several hours, with Northern Rail providing replacement minibuses and buses for passengers struggling with the delay.
