Trains between Nottingham and London running normally after bridge collapse

Video: Repairs are underway and the line is open again (Network Rail video)

Trains between Nottingham and London are now running on a normal timetable after a bridge collapsed in Leicestershire earlier this week.

Some trains were delayed and even cancelled on Tuesday (August 2) because of the bridge partly falling onto the line at Barrow upon Soar.

All stops on the London line are now available apart from Barrow upon Soar, where there is a replacement bus service available from Loughborough.

A reduced service was in place yesterday (Wednesday August 3) while Network Rail cleared away the debris from the line.

Two lines out of the four at the scene were closed while the work took place with the other two open.
