Customer Overview

Due to an earlier signal system fault services are being delayed.

Service Impact

These are stations the Stansted Express passes through on its journey.
Network Rail engineers have now fixed the fault. Services will begin to return to normal subject to alterations and cancellations whilst the service recovers.
