Rail services across the county have been delayed this morning after a train hit a deer.
A spokesman for Greater Anglia said: "Our 5:33am Norwich to Cambridge has hit a deer in the Thetford area.
"Unfortunately, the train has sustained some damage and will require a technician to attend as well as a rescue train to clear the line.
"This process is similar to using a car breakdown service."
The firm say they are in the process of arranging replacement buses.
The station is also on the East Midlands Railway service to Liverpool Lime Street.
Routes from Norwich to Stansted Airport and Cambridge are also impacted.
"The line from Norwich towards Ely is currently blocked, while the line from Ely towards Norwich is currently open. Trains in this direction will be disrupted," a representative for Greater Anglia added.
The tracks have now cleared with services running to time again.
