Ipswich rail passengers face travel chaos as overhead wire problems at Colchester cause widespread service disruptions with Greater Anglia warning of delays and cancellations affecting multiple routes.

Why it matters: This is the second major disruption in two weeks, impacting commuters and travellers between Ipswich and London.

The details:

  • Services through Colchester are being delayed, cancelled and disrupted in both directions.

  • Affected routes include Liverpool Street to Colchester Town, Liverpool Street to Ipswich/Norwich, and Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea.

  • Disruption is expected until 15:30.

  • This follows significant disruptions two weeks ago due to damaged wires at Colchester.

The bottom line: Passengers should check their journey before travelling and allow extra time.
