TRAIN services in the district were on a slippery slope yesterday as leaves on the line caused disruption to commuters.

Two trains – the 7.02am Leeds to Ilkley and 7.37am Ilkley to Leeds – were cancelled because of the problem at Springs Tunnel, near Guiseley.

The 6.55am Bradford Forster Square to Leeds service had to start at Shipley, and the 6.17am Ilkley to Bradford Forster Square train was terminated at Shipley.
