A railway station will be closed until Friday after flooding from a burst water main caused "extensive damage".

Greater Anglia said water had flooded the track in Hertfordshire and damaged the signalling system at Rye House on Wednesday, meaning trains would be unable to run between Broxbourne and Hertford East.

No trains will run to or from Hertford East, and Rye House station will be closed until at least the end of Friday, National Rail has announced.

A very limited rail replacement bus service will operate, Greater Anglia said.

Thames Water said engineers were deployed to the site and apologised for any disruption.

In a statement, Greater Anglia said: "Due to a burst water main flooding the track and damaging the signalling system at Rye House, we are unable to run trains between Broxbourne and Hertford East. The service is suspended. Network Rail engineers and Thames Water staff are on site and looking to resolve the issue."
