TRAIN passengers were held up today after trains running between London and Norwich were disrupted by engineering work.
Work between Kelvedon and Colchester ran late and trains heading to both Norwich and London from Ipswich were affected.
One train heading to Norwich was terminated at Ipswich and another two were delayed.
Seven trains heading to London via Ipswich were delayed, the most severe by 40minutes.
The problems were resolved by around 7.10am and trains were expected to run smoothly for the rest of the day.
Peter Meades, spokesman for train operator 'one', said: “The problem was solved at 7.10am and from then on trains were running normally.
“The knock on affects should not have taken long to ease off.”
