Network Rail engineers are working to fix Reedham swing bridge this summer following a major mechanical fault which means its operators can’t reliably open it to let larger boats pass through.

GBR Anglia is supporting Samaritans on its annual ‘24/7’ awareness day.

From Monday 3 August, there will be timetable changes on the line to and from King’s Lynn, and extra late night engineering works on other Anglia routes, as track is again affected by hot weather and sustained low rainfall.

Network Rail will replace 50 plus year old rails and sleepers between Battlesbridge and Southminster during a seven day programme of essential renewals in August, helping to maintain a safe, reliable and comfortable railway for passengers.

A project to replace bridges carrying London Overground trains over roads in the Forest Gate area will begin later this summer.

The first trains to carry the new Great British Railways identity for Anglia have been unveiled at London Liverpool Street station today (16 July), marking a visible milestone in the creation of a simpler, more joined-up railway that is already delivering benefits for passengers across the East of England.
