Northern said the issues on services between Dewsbury and Huddersfield have been resolved and cleared but passengers are reporting a backlog and delays.

The train operator had earlier said the first affected service was the 14.24 Southport to Leeds train and that no trains were able to operate on the line due to the trespassers and there was no indication as to when normal service would be resumed.
