Rail travellers faced disruption during the rush hour after a train carrying seven passengers came off the rails at a level crossing in Norfolk (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/5337328.stm

The derailment happened when the Norwich to Cambridge train operated by One Railway went across the level crossing at Croxton on Tuesday morning.

British Transport Police said the train struck a rubber paving block which had become dislodged on the crossing.

Measures are to be put in place following overhead power line problems on the London to Norwich route causing chaos on three occasions in one week (link below.)

Action to be taken includes an independent review by industry experts of overhead line equipment , One Railway and Network Rail said in a statement.
