Commuters are facing travel disruptions due to a fault with a bridge.

Replacement buses have been in place between Sheerness and Sittingbourne from 1pm, as well as a shuttle train service due to a problem with the Kingsferry Bridge.

Train services are currently unable to run between Swale and Queenborough .

It comes four days after trains were cancelled between the two railway stations when a boat crashed into the same bridge after a yachtsman reported seeing a 'bomb' in the water.

Disruption is expected to continue until around 3pm.

Southeatern tweeted: "Because of an ongoing problem with a bridge on the Sheerness line, we are currently only able to run a shuttle train service where possible and have arranged replacement buses to run between Sheerness and Sittingbourne ."

The train company has been contacted for more information.

More as we get it.
