    Legislation making upskirting a criminal offence is to be introduced by the government later after an earlier bid was stopped by one of its own MPs.

    A bill in the Commons aims to tackle a gap in the law in England and Wales concerning incidents where a photo is secretly taken under a victim's skirt.

    If passed, offenders will face up to two years in prison.

    Sir Christopher Chope had previously objected to a private member's bill being used to create a new offence.

    Gina Martin, an upskirting victim whose petition to criminalise the act sparked a campaign and political backing, has welcomed the government's adoption of the bill.

    A fault with the signalling system near Luton is causing major disruption to trains between Bedford and London St Pancras International.

    There is a reduced service between Heathrow Terminals 2,3 and 4 because more TfL Rail trains than usual are needing repairs.
