Delays after vehicle crashes into level crossing

A vehicle crashed into level crossing barriers between Gillingham and Rainham

Trains were halted in Kent after a vehicle crashed into level crossing barriers on Friday.

All services were halted after the vehicle damaged the barriers between Gillingham and Rainham at about 10:00 BST.

After an inspection by Network Rail, road and trains were managed manually and services ran at a reduced speed, Thameslink said.

The train company says the disruption is now over and services are "no longer affected by this problem".
