WHARFEDALE Line train services were disrupted this morning after reports of a broken line near Menston.

Rail infrastructure operator Network Rail was called in to check the tracks, and train services run by Northern Rail were replaced by buses between Ilkley and Guiseley while safety checks took place.

Disruption hit peak time commuter services and some services were cancelled.

Northern said on Thursday morning it did not know how long it would take for checks to be made and the line reopened.
