Lengthy delays are expected across Berkshire after a burst water main flooded railway tracks in Newbury.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said the flooding caused by the burst means fewer trains are able to run on some lines.

As a result, platform 1 at Newbury station is closed following meaning fewer trains are able to run into the station.

Customers are warned to expect cancellations and delays on trains through Newbury until the end of the day.

Direct trains between Newbury and London Paddington are not running.

Stopping trains between Newbury and Reading, and Newbury and Bedwyn and high speed long distance trains that call at Newbury are still able to run.

Travellers are urged to check their journey.
