Braintree trains are expected to be delayed until 3pm today.

Signalling problems have resulted in trains  having to run at reduced speeds between Braintree and Witham.

Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 10 minutes at short notice, with disruption expected to last until 3pm.

A Greater Anglia spokesman said: "We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while we fix the fault."
