It comes just a day after the railway bridge was hit by a tractor
Another vehicle has crashed into the railway bridge on Stuntney Road in Ely. Network Rail was called at around 3.40pm on Tuesday (May 19) with reports that a van had hit the bridge
The crash caused minor delays on some services with trains going through Ely running at a reduced speed. People travelling in the area were told to leave up to 20 minutes of extra time for their journeys.
An inspection of the area was carried out by engineers to check if any damage had been done to the bridge. Network Rail confirmed services ran as normal from 4.45pm.
The railway bridge was also hit by a tractor on Monday evening (May 18). This incident also caused disruption to train services.
The railway bridge is regularly named one of the most bashed bridges in the UK. In October 2025, the bridge was hit three times in just one week.
