Network Rail has warned that engineering work to a railway swing bridge in Suffolk may over-run (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/7247814.stmRepairs are being carried out to the structure which takes trains on the East Suffolk Line over Lake Lothing at Oulton Broad, near Lowestoft.
The week-long programme was due to be completed before the first timetabled trains run on Saturday morning.
However, Craig Bowman, from Network Rail, said site managers were unable to say if the deadline would be met.
He said:
"It may over-run until 1200 GMT on Saturday.
"We have got replacement buses on standby in case that does happen, but the site manager will have to decide overnight whether they will need to over-run.
"We can never be 100% certain until the end of the contract, but it could be finished on time."
Mr Bowman added that the work to replace worn out parts of the bridge would improve reliability for trains and boats sailing from Lowestoft to the broads.
