A POINTS failure has meant the cancellation of five trains between Southend Victoria and London Liverpool Street.

Trains at 7.13am, 7.42am, 8.12am, 8.55am and 9.34am have been cancelled due to the points failure at Romford.

Two of these services would have been carrying Southend commuters into London, however not all services have been cancelled so passengers have not been stranded at home.

Abellio Greater Anglia and Network Rail have now cleared the trouble at Romford but delays and cancellations still remain in place.
