Rail disruption continues between Colchester and Clacton after line-side fire
PASSENGERS travelling between Colchester and Clacton-on-Sea continue to face major disruption following a line-side fire that broke out near Thorpe-le-Soken yesterday evening. The blaze, which damaged key infrastructure next to the railway line, has caused significant issues for Greater Anglia services running between Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea, Colchester Town, and Walton-on-the-Naze. Although the fire has since been extinguished by Essex Fire and Rescue Service, the damage to signalling cables has led to severe delays and cancellations across the network. As of Monday morning, Network Rail engineers are still working to repair and replace the affected cabling, but a reduced timetable remains in place. Trains are running at reduced speeds across all lines in the area, with some services delayed by up to 20 minutes or cancelled entirely. Greater Anglia has warned passengers that disruption is expected to continue until further notice, and has urged customers to check live travel updates before setting out. To help mitigate the impact, Greater Anglia has arranged for tickets to be accepted on several local bus routes operated by Konect Bus and First Bus Essex, including: Route 7 between Clacton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze Route 3 between Clacton-on-Sea and Thorpe-le-Soken Routes 74 and 74B between Clacton-on-Sea and Colchester All First Bus Essex services between Colchester and Colchester Town Rail replacement services could not be sourced in time for this morning's peak, although Greater Anglia says it is working to secure buses from further afield and will issue updates as soon as possible. In a joint statement, Greater Anglia and Network Rail apologised for the disruption and inconvenience caused to passengers: "We're sorry if your journey has been affected by this disruption. Our teams are working as quickly and safely as possible to fully restore services." Advance ticket holders are permitted to travel on earlier or later services if their booked trains are cancelled. Passengers delayed by 15 minutes or more may be eligible for compensation. Claims can be made through Greater Anglia's Delay Repay scheme at: For up-to-date service information, visit:

Railway station to shut for two years for rebuild
A railway station in West Yorkshire is set to close for two years to be completely rebuilt. Deighton Station in Huddersfield will shut on 30 August and reopen in 2027, Network Rail confirmed. The work is part of the multi-billion-pound Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) programme of railway improvements being carried out by Network Rail. TRU sponsor Gareth Hope said the project "will allow the station to be brought up to modern standards and accommodate better rail travel across the North." The rebuilt station will boast two new tracks to allow faster services to overtake slower ones, extended platforms to accommodate longer trains with more seats, and a new footbridge with lifts for step-free access to both platforms. A new forecourt, including a drop-off point, accessible parking and improved waiting shelters, will also be built. An hourly rail replacement bus service will operate between Huddersfield and Deighton while the station is closed. The service will stop at Brighouse from 29 September 2025. As part of the work, Whitacre Street - which is already closed to vehicles - will be closed to pedestrians from 20 August until July 2026. Rob Warnes, strategic development director for Northern, said the work would support its aim of an "inclusive, accessible railway that's fit for the future". He added: "We recognise that delivery of works on this scale can cause disruption to the lives of our customers, and we are grateful for their continued patience."
