A fallen tree has caused disruptions to railway services this afternoon.

The tree had fallen on the tracks between Faversham and Canterbury East.

The tree has now been removed but there are still delays to services between Faversham and Dover Priory.

Replacement buses were arranged and passengers were advised to alternatively travel via Canterbury West to complete their journey.

Southeastern’s most recent tweet following the issue says: “All lines via Canterbury East have reopened following a tree on the line earlier today.

“Services have been delayed and may be altered or cancelled whilst we work to get things back on time.”
