@greateranglia Not sure what you mean. The 13.37 stopped at Stratford and I'm on the train now. Any idea when the line between Colchester and Norwich will begin running again please?

This is Laura-Jane Seaman, a mother who went in to hospital to have her fifth child and never came home.

At an inquest, a coroner concluded that "basic failures" by professionals at @MSEHospitals had contributed to her death.
