A RAFT of services between London and Southend have been cancelled because of a broken down train.

The 5.45pm Greater Anglia service from London Liverpool Street broke down on its way to Southend Victoria, leading to the 6.05pm and 6.14pm services being cancelled and five more being delayed as a result of the disruption.

It follows another raft of rush-hour cancellations from the capital on Friday as heavy rainfall flooded tracks at Manor Park.
