Railway lines blocked after points failure

Railway services have been disrupted after a points failure, resulting in bus replacement services, delays and cancellations.

Greater Anglia said the fault at Thetford in Norfolk was blocking the line to Wymondham, and Network Rail workers were due on site.

Trains are running between Norwich and Wymondham, with passengers for Thetford then taking a replacement bus journey of about 40 minutes.

A replacement bus service between Thetford and Cambridge North, via Brandon and Ely, is also in place due to planned engineering work.
