Rail passengers are facing disruption on the Norwich to London line this morning.

Train operator Greater Anglia is reporting that the disruption is due to damage to overhead electric wires earlier today between Romford and Ilford.

The operator said Network Rail engineers have now completed the repairs to the overhead wires and all train lines are now open, but that disruption was expected until about 10am.

A Great Anglia statement said: 'Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.'

It added: 'C2C are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Greater Anglia rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

'Underground services are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Greater Anglia rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.'
