A number of rail services between Norwich and London have been cancelled this morning. 

Due to damaged overhead electric wires near Colchester, services from Norwich to the capital have been cancelled.

According to the Greater Anglia live departures board, the 6am London Liverpool Street to Norwich was cancelled, the 6.30am Norwich to London Liverpool Street was cancelled and the 7.30am Norwich to London will also be cancelled. 

A spokesman for Greater Anglia said: "Due to damage to the Overhead Electrical Wires at Colchester, only one line is available to use between Colchester and Marks Tey.

"Network Rail engineers will be working on the Overhead Electrical Wires all day, meaning that only one line will be available all day."

It now means that only one train an hour will run between Norwich and London Liverpool Street.
