A collapsed railway bridge at London's Liverpool Street Station halted services in and out of the busy hub today causing major delays and disruption to passengers.
Services to Stansted Airport, Southend in Essex, Cambridge, Ipswich and Norwich were severely disrupted after scaffolding from a new bridge fell onto tracks on Wednesday evening.
UK infrastructure operator Network Rail says it hopes to reopen the tracks by 14.00 BST. Tube services at the station have not been affected.
According to the company engineers were working on the structure at the site through the night.
The 1,300t bridge had been inched across existing railway tracks using hydraulic rams, as part of the East London Line extension into Shoreditch Station.
