Trains in and out of London halted after trackside fire

Trains to and from London Liverpool Street station were halted due to a trackside fire near Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire. The incident occurred at 14:57 BST, prompting Greater Anglia to stop all train movements as the London Fire Brigade addressed multiple fires near railway lines. Services to Stansted Airport, Cambridge North, Meridian Water, and Hertford East were disrupted, with further delays, cancellations, or diversions expected. The fire near Lea Road in Waltham Abbey involved fourteen firefighting engines, though it remains unclear if this was a separate incident. Network Rail personnel were working to restore normal operations.
