Trains are having to be ‘talked past’ the signal in question by the signaller. As a result, trains have to run at a reduced speed on the line towards London.

“Please check your journey before you travel and allow extra time.”

Members of Network Rail were expected to arrive on site at about 6.15am this morning to fix the issue.
