Flooding causing "severe disruption" to rail services across Yorkshire and the north
Rail passengers across the north of England are being warned of widespread disruption as "severe weather" continues to wreak havoc.
Northern Rail said delays and short notice cancellations are likely for the rest of today (Sunday) as a band of heavy rain continues to move across the region.
Localised flooding is creating problems on a number of routes - and several in the Leeds area have been flagged up.
Trains are running at reduced speeds between Leeds and Harrogate due to flooding and conditions are being monitored due to possible flooding near to Kirkstall Forge.
A spokesperson for the train operator said: "Localised flooding is creating problems on a number of routes - although in some cases the flood waters may subside quickly.
Northern customers are advised to allow extra time for travel and to check ahead - up to the last minute - for all rail travel in the North."
