Rail passengers travelling into London from Essex,

:00:36.:00:39.

Suffolk and Norfolk are facing up to five months of delays

:00:40.:00:41.

From January a replacement bus service from Essex into London

:00:42.:00:49.

will be in operation every Saturday and Sunday.

:00:50.:00:53.

Journey times will be an hour longer.

The reason, a ?250 million project to make the railway more reliable

Half term and Ipswich station is a hive of activity.

:01:02.:01:11.

No disruption on the trains today, but in a few weeks

:01:12.:01:14.

Network Rail have announced that from January until March buses

:01:15.:01:19.

will replace trains every wdekend from Essex into London.

:01:20.:01:22.

And from March until May the disruption will continud
