"After investigation, we’ve found an issue with a boundary wall which we’ll repair at the end of service - it’s a challenging area to access while trains are running.

"We’re aiming to make full repairs overnight, with services returning to line speed tomorrow."

However, inspections are continuing this morning and trains are still delayed.
