A broken down lorry on a railway line in Reigate was causing delays for commuters early on Wednesday evening.

A spokesman for Network Rail said they received a report at about 4pm that a large lorry was causing an obstruction on the line.

He said no trains were able to pass through and there was also a build up of road traffic in the area.

The spokesman added that First Great Western services were affected and said Network Rail teams were on site and attempting to clear the line as quickly as possible.
