A spokesman for Greater Anglia said: “During planned engineering work last night, a Network Rail engineers road-rail vehicle derailed at Stratford.

“The vehicle has been removed from the railway, allowing all lines to re-open.

“Network Rail will make full repairs to the railway infrastructure tonight. In the meantime, fewer trains will be able to use platform 10 at Stratford and those that do will be running at a reduced speed.

“Trains remain disrupted but we are now working at getting trains running to the timetable as soon as possible.”
