Rail passengers have been warned of cancellations after a person was hit by a train.

Greater Anglia said its services from London Liverpool Street to stations across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex have been affected.

They included delays at Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester and Southend Victoria as a result of two rail lines being closed.

"Please note that emergency services are still at the scene dealing with the incident," a Greater Anglia spokesman said.
