All train lines have re-opened at a Southend train station after crews investigated a fault.

Train services in and out of Southend Victoria station were blocked this afternoon due to a fault with the signalling system.

All lines have now re-opened, however, train services running to and from the station may still be cancelled, delayed or revised.

Disruption is expected until 6.30pm. 

A Greater Anglia spokesman tweeted earlier today: "Network Rail has confirmed there is a fault with the signalling system at Southend Victoria which is preventing us from operating our train services in and out of Southend Victoria station.

"Network Rail and response teams are currently investigating what has caused the problem."

Bosses have organised tickets to be accepted on c2c services between Fenchurch Street and Southend Central, to help commuters complete their journey.
