Delays persist after night of chaos

[Roycole]

One of the main routes into Leeds, the A660 Headingley Lane in Headingley, is closed in both directions between the Richmond Road junction and The Hyde Park Traffic Lights, because of a fallen tree.

Train services remain badly affected, with services cancelled despite Network Rail saying it had deployed teams of workers overnight to repair damage to overhead power lines.

The company advised passengers to delay the start of their journey at least until after 8am . It said disruption would continue “until further notice” on East Coast and Northern Rail trains between Leeds and Wakefield Westgate/Doncaster because of an overhead wire problem near Fitzwilliam.
