Delays on Northern trains this afternoon as fewer trains are able to run
Rail passengers are facing delays this afternoon (Friday) due to problems on the Northern network.
Due to a member of train crew being unavailable fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
This is impacting services on the whole Northern network, including the Leeds to Manchester Victoria service through Hebden Bridge and the Leeds to Manchester Victoria service through Brighouse.
Northern has said: “Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
“Northern train services in Lancashire and Cumbria, Merseyside and Manchester are subject to short notice alterations and cancellations for the remainder of the day.
“We advise customers to check before they travel, all day today Friday, December 19.
“Alternative travel suggestions: Northern train tickets restrictions have been lifted until end of service today, including advance and peak restrictions.”
