Regular service has resumed on the Lakeshore West GO train line after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a train in Burlington Friday morning.

Shortly after 5:30 a.m., first responders received a call about a person who was hit by a GO train east of Aldershot GO, near King and Enfield roads.

The pedestrian was pronounced deceased, Halton police said.
