Disruptions & planned work

An operational incident at London Liverpool Street means that some platforms at the station are currently closed. This means that trains running between London Liverpool Street and Hackney Downs may be subject to delays of up to 15 minutes, cancelled in full or revised to only run for part of their normal route. Additionally, some Greater Anglia and Stansted Express services will also be diverted to start from / terminate at Stratford (London) instead of London Liverpool Street. This is expected until the end of the day. Greater Anglia and Stansted Express customer advice: Some train services will terminate / start at Bishops Stortford or be diverted to / from Stratford (London). This is a result of fewer platforms being available at London Liverpool Street. Trains arriving into / departing from London Liverpool Street may incur a small delay.
