Northern is advising passengers not to travel between Keighley and Skipton this evening after a road vehicle has collided with a level crossing near Steeton and Silsden.

The police are now in attendance of this incident and are dealing with it with Network Rail.

Because of the collision, no trains can run between Keighley and Skipton and means that all trains are cancelled. This will affect you if you are travelling from Leeds towards Skipton and Carlisle and vice versa.

There is currently no estimate as to what time the trains will be running again, however, disruption to the train services are expected to last until at least the end of the day.
