There are long delays on the East coast mainline because of an obstruction at Stevenage and speed restrictions. And there delays on other rail lines.

There are no trains between Norwich and London on Greater Anglia because of damage to overhead lines at Stowmarket and the service is suspended between Marks Tey in Essex and Sudbury in Suffolk due to a fallen tree.
