TEENAGE vandals put lives in danger when they blocked a railway line with debris today.

Two c2c trains had to be cautioned about the incident as they went through the Mandeville bridge area between Laindon and Basildon.

This caused delays on the 14.20 train from Shoebury to London Fenchurch Street and a train travelling in the opposite direction to Shoebury.

Both trains were delayed by five minutes.
