At least one person was killed and 
dozens more seriously injured when two passenger trains collided. 
Sky News correspondent Shimon Freeman Powell is at the scene. 
>> Well, a major incident has been declared here in Bedfordshire. 
The emergency response is still well underway after that collision involving two London-bound trains. 
One traveling from Nottingham, the other traveling from Corby. 
Now, Sky News understands that one of the trains was stationary when it was hit from behind by the second train causing multiple people to suffer serious injuries. 
And sadly, one person we now understand has died. 
Now, all patients with the most serious injuries were taken to nearby hospitals. 
And we know that those that experienced minor injuries were treated at the scene. 
There has been a heavy emergency service response here in this area. 
I've counted more than a dozen fire and rescue trucks, as well as dozens of ambulances and police vehicles, too. 
All responding to the scene and asking for people not to make their way here. 
Of course, their way here. 
Of course, their immediate focus is to ensure that all passengers that were on the train were able to get off of those trains safe and sound. 
That's also been a priority from our Prime Minister, too, Keir Starmer, who shared on social media a statement. 
He commented on the hugely concerning incident, is how he described it, that took place today, saying that his thoughts are with the family of the person who has sadly lost their life and with those who have been seriously injured.
