In my home village of Bacton North of Haughley junction
and Diss.

(Photos' by my daughter)

I'd be very miffed by this!

I believe it was closed for around 90mins

I believe that is the tow truck that came to yank the offending vehicle out. If its the bridge I think it is,it is pretty low clearance, so any lorry would have made a fine old mess.

I find the wording of the sign quite amusing...

Trains between Norwich and London are running after lorry crashed into a bridge.

A lorry crashed into a railway bridge on Pound Lane in Bacton.

Judging by the picture and the marks on the bridge, I would say it's not the first time it's been 'bashed'

I was most displeased, instead of working some nice quiet Yarmouths I ended up working one of the busiest peak trains out of London last night...

My friend avoided the nightmare by being on the cambridge/Ipswich services!

Not much fun for anyone - very very frustrating at the root cause of the accident is lorry under bridge FFS!
