The railway line blocked by a freight derailment reopened today, after extensive repair work’ to restore the track.
It is as yet unclear what caused the derailment on 14 August at about 14.40, when 11 wagons of a 33-wagon freight container train were derailed just north of Ely on the line to Peterborough.
No one was hurt, but three passenger operators were affected.
Freight trains were also diverted to other routes and congestion was reported on the Great Eastern Main Line as a result.
