Trains have been canceled as emergency services rush to the railway line near Bradford station

TRAINS were canceled as emergency services rushed to a railway line near a Bradford station.

Northern Rail said just before midday that all lines between Bradford Interchange and Sowerby Bridge Railway Station were blocked.

This is because the emergency services are dealing with an incident between those stations.

A Northern Rail spokesman said: “Train services running through these stations will be canceled or delayed.”

The following train services cannot run between Bradford Interchange and Sowerby Bridge Railway Station in both directions:

• Leeds – Manchester Victoria/Wigan Wallgate via Brighouse

• Leeds – Manchester Victoria/Chester via Bradford Interchange

• York – Blackpool North

• Halifax – Hull

• Bradford Interchange – Huddersfield

The 9.49am train from Wigan Wallgate to Leeds is delayed at Sowerby Bridge, while the 10.23am service from York to Blackpool has ended at Halifax, according to Northern Rail.

A spokesman for the train operator said: “Ticket acceptance is valid on the Transpennine Express between York and Manchester.

“Any ticket restrictions have been lifted during this disruption.”

Road transport has been requested to operate between Hebden Bridge and Bradford Interchange.

The Telegraph & Argus has contacted the British Transport Police (BTP) and Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) for more details.
