Following an earlier broken down freight train between Ipswich and Felixstowe all lines have now reopened.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations are returning to normal but some services will still be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 11:00 02/06.
Customer Advice:
A freight train heading towards Felixstowe South terminal came to a stand near Derby Road with engine problems.
The freight train required assistance and its now being rescued and away from the running lines.
We are now able to run on the branch line however, some train services may be delayed, altered or may be cancelled at short notice.
Greater Anglia tickets will still be accepted on local buses (First Bus route 75) between Ipswich and Felixstowe until 11:00.
Rail Replacement buses sourced from Felixstowe Travel will operate between Ipswich and Felixstowe until 11:00.
