Railway lines have now reopened following a low-speed derailment in Leicestershire.
Network Rail said two wagons derailed on an engineering worksite, near Market Harborough, at about 23:00 on Sunday.
East Midlands Railway services between London St Pancras and Nottingham and Sheffield were among those affected.
The company said all lines between Leicester and Kettering had reopened and it was working to restore its timetable.
Work suspended
Tara Scott, East Midlands infrastructure director for Network Rail, said nobody was injured in the low-speed derailment, which happened during planned engineering works.
She said: "Work was suspended while teams worked quickly to get the wagons safely back on track by 05:00.
"Throughout the day, our teams are completing this important work to get trains running normally again as soon as possible.
"We're sorry for the impact this is having on services."
Network Rail added it was investigating how the derailment happened.
