A full train service has now been reintroduced between Norwich and London after work to stabilise the line at Ingatestone recently.

The embankment at Ingatestone became unstable on Friday 22nd January and caused a dip in the tracks.

Engineers have been working to complete repairs in order for the line to operate safely.

Follow up work will continue for the next fortnight, but the line will remain open throughout.

Ellie Burrows, Network Rail‘s route director for Anglia, said: “We’ve worked non-stop since last Friday in order to reopen the line quickly and safely. I’m sorry that journeys have been disrupted.”

“This work could not have been completed without the support and patience of those living nearby, and I’d like to thank the community of Ingatestone for persevering with noise and lorries in their neighbourhood.”
