RAIL services between Bradford and Ilkley have been affected by a road crash where a vehicle struck a bridge at Wheatley Lane in Ben Rhydding.

Engineers halted services as a safety precaution so the bridge could be checked for possible structural damage and two services from Forster Square in Bradford to Ilkley were delayed, with the 2.46pm and 3.02pm trains held up.

However, it was expected that all services would be back to normal in time for rush hour services.
