A Halfords "We Fit" lorry got stuck under a bridge, causing train services to be suspended.

The vehicle became wedged under the railway bridge in Upper Elmers End Road in Beckenham in south-east London.

Southeastern services were stopped between Elmers End and West Wickham for about an hour until about 10:30 BST on Saturday.

Last October another Halfords 'We Fit' lorry became trapped under a bridge less than a mile away.
