An injured swan on the tracks temporarily shut down a train line.

At 11.37am Greater Anglia announced that three of its lines were down after a large bird was found on the rails.

The animal is on a section of the track between Liverpool Street and Stratford used by Greater Anglia and TfL Rail services.

Both lines are have significant delays as a result.

Shortly before 12pm the rail company announced that the wildfowl had been escorted away and services resumed.
