Commuters face major delays from Colchester as the winter weather hits services.

There is currently a 20 minute delay on London bound services due to a broken down train at Colchester North station.

The service has been hit with delays since 8am when signal problems at Manningtree caused the train from Colchester town station to London to be cancelled.

There are currently no services running between Colchester and Ipswich.
