Commuters had their journey to work disrupted this morning after the rail route between Maidenhead and Bourne End was halted.

Passengers were forced to continue their journey by taxi or bus after a train driver reported a dip in the tracks in Furze Platt at around 7.40am.

Engineers arrived within 20 minutes and normal service was resumed at 8.45am.
