Can you tell me more about the incident?

A freight train has broken down on the only line open between Bedford and Flitwick. The other line that would normally be available has been closed for engineering works. This means our Bedford - Three Bridges overnight trains cannot run until approximately 04:30, when the engineering works finish.
