Customer Advice
Please allow extra time to complete your journey this afternoon.
We've been advised of a faulty train in the Foxton area, effectively blocking the line towards Cambridge, Ely and Kings Lynn.
The driver is talking the maintenance team and we will update you as soon as we can.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
We've had a report of a fault on a train, and this is now causing delays to other services travelling through this area.
Normally, when a fault on a train occurs, crews will gather details and report this to the Fleet teams. If possible, the defect will be fixed promptly, and teams will get the train on the way. These initial steps are designed to take around 10 minutes.
However, sometimes the fault cannot be fixed in this time frame. In this case, wherever possible, the train will be taken out of use and sent to a depot. This does take additional time, as the crew will need to make sure that everyone's managed to leave the train.
