A weekend of train disruption caused by signalling faults is expected to last through the evening.

Abellio Greater Anglia has been forced to run services between Diss and Norwich at a reduced speed owing to the problem, which was first reported yesterday.

Weekend rail replacement bus connections operating between Stowmarket and Ipswich are being held to connect with late-running trains.

“We thank you for your patience and understanding whilst Network Rail Engineers resolve this problem,” said a spokesman for the operator.

The disruption is expected to last until 11.30pm.
