Rush-hour commuters on trains via Chelmsford faced 90 minute delays on Tuesday evening because of a broken down train at the station. A full list of cancellations and delays here
Problems were first reported shortly before 5pm, leading to chaos at Liverpool Street station and at stations along routes via Chelmsford.
Trains were forced to come to a standstill while Greater Anglia engineers worked to fix the broken down carriage.
Replacement buses were also sent to affected stations
before the carriage was eventually fixed at around 7.15pm.
