Rail passengers are being warned to expect delays on services in part of the region this morning.

Over-running engineering works are currently causing disruption at Thorpe-le-Soken.

These delays are expected to continue until approximately 8:30am.

There are currently no reports of major delays or incidents on the region’s roads.
