Rail commuters face long delays after vehicle hits bridge

Commuters face delays this morning after two separate incidents on the region's rail network.

There's disruption on the line between Cambridge and Norwich after a vehicle hit a bridge between Attleborough and Thetford.

And there are delays too on the main Norwich to London line after a track defect at Rivenhall in Essex.

It means Greater Anglia services between Liverpool Street and Colchester, Clacton on Sea, Harwich Town, Ipswich and Norwich will need to use the Liverpool Street bound line in both directions between Marks Tey and Witham and will be subject to delay, cancellation and alteration at short notice.

Passengers are being reminded to check for updates before they travel.
