RAIL services in Shipley have been cancelled or delayed this lunchtime after people trespassed on the railways.

Northern said services between the town and Leeds have been affected after trespassers caused the line to be blocked.

The issue was reported at 1.24pm but the lines are now back open after the trespassers left the railway.

However, the operator warned: "Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be cancelled or delayed."

Trespassing on the railways is a criminal offence and is punished by a fine of up to £1,000. It can also have much more devastating consequences.
