Trains have been delayed between Leeds and Doncaster because of trespassers blocking the railway lines, as an operator warned that cancellations are possible.
The trespassers have been reported on tracks near Fitzwilliam Station, around five miles from Pontefract.
Operator Northern has told customers that teams from Network Rail are due on site shortly.
The incident has meant that train services are unable to run between Leeds and Doncaster in both directions, as well as between Leeds and Sheffield via Moorthorpe.
Services from Leeds to Sheffield via Barnsley are not affected.
The first service to be held back was the 12.21pm Leeds to Doncaster service, which is currently stuck at Kirk Sandal.
Northern will update customers on the situation.
