Biggleswade commuters no longer face delays due to broken down freight train

The train came to a halt between Peterborough and Huntingdon, causing a slower service this afternoon.

Thameslink was unable to serve the following stations towards London: Peterborough, Huntingdon, St Neots, Sandy, Biggleswade and Arlesey.

The train company stated: "We are working on getting rail replacement buses for these stations and will publish these if these are confirmed."

However, the broken down train has now been removed and services can run again.

Thameslink confirmed: "Disruption caused by a broken down freight train between Peterborough and Hitchin has now ended. Services are no longer affected by this problem."
