Rail replacement buses are in operation on parts of the affected routes. The routes affected are:
CrossCountry between Plymouth / Bristol Temple Meads / Penzance / Birmingham New Street and Newcastle, between Leeds / Birmingham New Street / Plymouth / Bristol Temple Meads and Edinburgh
LNER between Leeds and Aberdeen
Northern between Leeds / Hull and York and also between Garforth and Church Fenton
TransPennine Express between Manchester Piccadilly and York, between Liverpool Lime Street and Newcastle / Edinburgh and also between Manchester Victoria and York / Redcar Central Network Rail workers have been on site since the early hours to inspect the damage caused and establish a plan that removes the derailed train wagons, repairs the damage and gets passenger services back to normal as quickly and safely as possible.
A TRAIN has come off the tracks on the line between York and Leeds. National Rail Enquiries are warning passengers that CrossCountry, LNER, Northern and TransPennine Express services will be affected after an engineering train has derailed in the Church Fenton area. Consequently, trains between Leeds and York via Church Fenton will be cancelled or diverted. This is expected until the end of the day. Network Rail said nobody was hurt when five wagons came off the tracks just before 2am, but no trains are currently able to run between Church Fenton and Micklefield and that has led to services between York and Leeds being cancelled, delayed or diverted.
Work to recover a de-railed engineering train and repair damage to the track and signalling equipment will continue overnight, with services expected to resume tomorrow afternoon. Network Rail workers have been on site since the early hours of this morning Tuesday, May 4, when an engineering train derailed at Church Fenton, causing disruption between Leeds and York. The line between Church Fenton and Micklefield closed so essential investigations could take place safely, meaning trains have been cancelled, delayed, or diverted throughout the day, with bus replacement services in operation for some routes. Moving the five derailed wagons was a complex recovery process as the engineering train was carrying long pieces of rail, which had already been welded together ready to be installed in the area.
