A fault with the signalling system between Stockport and Stoke-on-Trent means the lines towards Stoke-on-Trent are currently closed. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or diverted via Crewe.

Disruption is expected until 10:00.

Stations between Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent may not be served.
