There was a broken rail at Shipley this morning causing 'chaos' according to the Telegraph And Argus... :roll:

Yes it caused some inconvenience but everyone worked hard to get the problem resolved, in fact the 12pm estimate for repair ended up being an actual back up and running time of around 9am.

In fact rather than catch the 8:50am Keighley bus from Wellington Street I could have waited for the 9:26am train and made it to work before the bus did :lol:

Northen tweeted that 3 trains from Ikley to/from Bradford Square didn't call at Baildon, so I'm presuming reversed hopefully at Apperley Junction and didn't have to go all the way into Leeds to reverse

There's a crossover east of Apperley Junction where trains can reverse. Was on a train from Guiseley to Bradford that did it many moons ago.

Flooding has knocked the line out today by the looks! Was fine this morning but has been chucking it down since.

Buses currently running but I can't see that lasting forever if it keeps raining either!
