A train travelling to Ipswich has been delayed by another late running service in the other direction.

The 7.27am Greater Anglia service from Lowestoft was held at Saxmundham for approximately 15mins.

Conductors told passengers that the train was being held at the station due to the late running of the Lowestoft-bound train the other direction and there only being one railway track ahead for trains to travel on.

Passengers were also told that the delay might mean they would miss connections to London Liverpool Street leaving Ipswich shortly after 9am.
