Train delays as Halfords lorry stuck under Beckenham bridge

A Halfords "We Fit" lorry got stuck under a bridge, causing train services to be suspended.
The vehicle became wedged under the railway bridge in Upper Elmers End Road in Beckenham in south-east London.
Southeastern services were stopped between Elmers End and West Wickham for about an hour until about 10:30 BST on Saturday.
