A BISHOP'S Hull woman who was about to become a grandmother has been found dead at the side of a railway line.

The body of divorcee Lesley Rice, 51, of Chaf-finch Close, was found by a member of the public near the new bridge being built over the Silk Mills level crossing on Sunday morning.

It appears that Ms Rice, who had been suffering from depression, drove to the scene before getting out of her car and standing in front of an oncoming train.
