A spokesman for South East Coast Ambulance Service said: “We were called at around just after 1.40pm this afternoon to platform one of the station at Chichester to reports of a female who was unresponsive and in need of medical attention.

“One ambulance and one other vehicle attended the scene.

“The female patient was treated at the scene and taken to St Richard’s Hospital for further treatment.”

The line has since cleared with trains now running to time according to Southern.

They later tweeted: “Disruption between Havant and Chichester has now ended.”
