TRAIN passengers faced cancellations and delays in the Bradford district today due to flooding.

Services between Leeds and Shipley were affected in both directions due to heavy rain flooding the railway at Kirkstall Forge.

All lines were blocked but they have now been reopened.

A spokesperson for Northern said at around 1.30pm: "Train services running through this station are returning to normal but some services may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.

"Disruption is expected until 3pm.

"Network Rail engineers have confirmed both lines are now open without speed restrictions."
