Avanti West Coast, Northern and TransPennine Express services have all been affected by major disruption this morning.
The disruption was caused by an incident which emergency services have been dealing with.
This means that services have been disrupted between Preston and Bolton/ Wigan North Western.
While lines have been reopened, the disruption is expected to continue until later today (estimated 10:30).
Ticket acceptance is in place with some services, but it is recommended to check with the relevant operators.
Services may be cancelled, delayed, or revised, and passengers are advised to check before they travel.
