Trains travelling out of London Liverpool Street have been delayed after a collision on the railway.

Several eastbound lines running out of Liverpool Street were temporarily closed after a person was hit by a train at Manor Park earlier today, Wednesday.

Passengers wanting to use the c2c line between Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria are being told to use the Fenchurch Street to Shoebury line instead.

Delays are expected to continue until at least 10pm.
