Passengers travelling to and from Peterborough and the north face delays and cancellations this afternoon after a barrier fault at March.

A statement on Greater Anglia’s Twitter read: “Due to a fault with barriers at a level crossing between Whittlesea and #March all lines are blocked. Services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

“Disruption is expected until further notice.”

Engineers from Network rail are on route to the site.
