Northern is advising passengers to check before travelling this morning after a broken-down freight train is blocking a Trans-Pennine route.
The freight train has broken down in the Burnley Manchester Road area and is blocking both lines between Burnley and Hebden Bridge as well as the line to Todmorden.
Network Rail are on the scene and say that the freight train cannot move due to the slippery rails in the area.
Disruption is expected until at least 1 pm and rail replacement buses are in action.
Ticket acceptance is in place with Transpennine Express between York and Manchester.
