An object being caught in the overhead electric wires between Bolton and Preston means that some lines are blocked. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 16:00.

Customer advice:

Northern

Customers travelling from Preston towards Manchester may board alternative Northern services to Wigan North Western or Liverpool Lime Street and change for alternative connections.
