Rail passengers have faced hours of disruption today due to a fallen tree.

The line between Norwich and Diss has been blocked since first thing this morning due to damage caused by a tree falling on to an overhead wire.

Greater Anglia has now released a photo of the tree and the damage with disruption expected to continue this afternoon.

A spokesman for Greater Anglia said: "Train services between Liverpool Street and Norwich are subject to delays, alterations and cancellation owing to a tree damaging electrical overhead wires between Diss and Norwich.

"Network Rail staff are on-site to carry out repairs.

"Ticket restrictions have been lifted for affected customers.

"Tickets for today will be accepted tomorrow.

"Greater Anglia and Network Rail are doing everything possible to get customers to their destinations."

Network Rail was on the scene and services between Norwich and London can run.

However, services are still expected to be disrupted until the full timetable is restored.
