Between Wickford and Southend Victoria

Description

Following a safety inspection at Hockley, lines have now reopened. Trains may still be cancelled, delayed up to 40 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 13:30

Customer advice:

Greater Anglia have received reports earlier, of trespassers in the Hockley area, and as a result checks had to be made to ensure the railway was safe for the passage of trains.

This has caused significant delays to rail services, including short notice alterations and cancellations.
