The broken down freight train at Harold Wood has closed some lines running between Shenfield and London Liverpool Street. It’s also impacting Greater Anglia services running between the two stations. National Rail warns that services could be cancelled, delayed, or revised, and the disruption is expected to last well into rush hour.
