Greater Anglia says the track is severely damaged
Last updated 31st Jan 2022
A train has narrowly avoided derailment between Norwich and Lowestoft after flooding severely damaged the railway at the weekend.
Greater Anglia says bus replacements will run between the two stations until Saturday 5th February after flood water displaced a chunk of track in the Haddiscoe area at the weekend.
One service narrowly avoided derailment on Sunday, with the train still stuck in place at the moment.
Customers planning to travel between Norwich and Lowestoft are being urged not to, unless their journey is essential.
Rail replacement services will be running hourly Monday to Friday this week, with a shuttle bus between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
It's after storms battered parts of the UK over the weekend, leaving two people dead.
More strong winds are expected in parts of North Norfolk today with a yellow wind warning in force on the coast until lunchtime.
