Commuters hoping to travel between Dover and Faversham are facing delays due to an immobilised train.

Ice is preventing a Southeastern train to take on power, leaving it stuck at Kearnsey station.

Trains on the line are powered via a single live track, and this connection can be damaged or stopped by a heavy build-up of ice.

In a tweet, Southeastern confirmed that they are aware of the issue.

Network Rail response staff are on the way to the scene to de-ice the line, and a rescue train is being arrange to provide power to the immobilised engine.

It is not yet clear how long this will take.

More as we get it.
