Heavy rain brought disruption to the rail network on Saturday afternoon (January 14) with ‘some lines’ being ‘blocked’.
Officials said that flooding in Greenfield, Oldham, meant that the route from Stalybridge to Huddersfield was blocked. That railway line is one which connects Manchester to Leeds.
It led to passengers facing a nightmare trying to get across the country this afternoon. The disruption added to the chaos seen across the network over the last few months, which have been beset by strikes, cancellations, and engineering work.
