Delays continue on troubled line

Three workers were injured while repairing an overhead cable

Disruption is continuing on services from London to East Anglia after the derailment of a freight train.

There is a limited service between Colchester and Marks Tey, Essex, after the incident on Thursday, operator National Express East Anglia said.

The line has been hit by a series of problems over the past week after a train went over fallen overhead cables.

The route affected runs from London Liverpool Street to Norwich, via Ipswich and Colchester.

Three workers were injured while carrying out repairs to the overhead power cables, which came down near Ingatestone in Essex on Monday, on Wednesday night.

The men fell up to 20ft (6m) to the ground from an elevated platform, and were kept in hospital overnight.

British Transport Police have been carrying out an investigation.
