Train disruptions
 

Anyone travelling by train this morning may have long delays, we were due to catch the 7.19 to Leeds from Accrington but were told on the platform that someone had been hit on the track at Pleasington & they could not say when they would get the service running again. Just a warning in case anyone hasn't set off yet, it might be worth checking first.
