Network Rail has warned customers elsewhere trains may be delayed for up to 20 minutes.

Disruption is expected to last until around 3.30pm while officers from the train service check the incident.

Southeastern tweeted: "Due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge at Newington."

A replacement bus service has been set up between Faversham and Gillingham while engineers inspect the damage.

The line has since been reopened, but Southeastern have warned there will still be delays as they work to get running back on time.
