'tis a shambes, my dear forumers.Soaring heat meant some main line trains were not stopping at the Olympics serving station of Stratford
Greater Anglia warned of delays on services from London Liverpool Street to Essex, Ipswich and Norwich
Problems are down to older sections of overhead lines expanding and sagging in high temperatures
