A fallen tree caused disruption to rail services to and from Ipswich.

The incident blocked the line between Beccles and Lowestoft, affecting services running between Ipswich and Lowestoft.

A spokesman for Greater Anglia said: "Due to a tree having been blown down onto a national power line between Lowestoft and Beccles, trains are unable to run between the two stations."

Engineers from Network Rail and UK Power Networks were fixing the issue.

Greater Anglia tickets were accepted on selected First Bus routes as alternative transport.
