Thousands of Britons have woken up to travel chaos after a suspected fire left commuters heading into London stranded.
The commuter town of Chelmsford, where 8,500 people travel into London for work every day, was left at a standstill this morning as queues gathered at the station’s London-bound Platform One.
Stations further along the Greater Anglia line have also been impacted, with regular commuting hotspots going as far back as Colchester and Ipswich.
Greater Anglia staff have been heard advising commuters to make the 10-mile drive up the A12 to Shenfield as services were delayed until further notice.
The 5.41am service from Chelmsford to London Liverpool Street was delayed, with the train being redirected back to Clacton-on-Sea at around 6am.
