Why it matters: This is the second major disruption in two weeks, impacting commuters and travellers between Ipswich and London.
The details:
Services through Colchester are being delayed, cancelled and disrupted in both directions.
Affected routes include Liverpool Street to Colchester Town, Liverpool Street to Ipswich/Norwich, and Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea.
Disruption is expected until 15:30.
This follows significant disruptions two weeks ago due to damaged wires at Colchester.
The bottom line: Passengers should check their journey before travelling and allow extra time.
