Rail services resume after broken down Metro train removed
Passengers experienced up to around three hours of delays after a compressor failure meant the train's doors could not open.
Northern and Metro services along the line were affected in both directions after the service limped to a halt between Fellgate and Brockley Whins stations at 12.23pm.
