A large fire in Hobhole Bank, Old Leake, has seen the cancellation of rail services between Boston and Skegness and the closure of the road.
Multiple fire crews and police officers are in attendance at an address beside the railway line.
A statement issued by East Midlands Railway said: “There is a fire on property near the railway. This is between Skegness and Boston and is disrupting our trains on the Skegness/Boston/Nottingham route
Network Rail will be sending a team to site, to see if it is safe for trains to run. The fire brigade are on site at the property that is affected.
