A cable theft has caused major disruption to rail services in Yorkshire, National Rail said.

The theft in the Wakefield Westgate area caused a fault in the signalling system, closing all lines between the station to both Doncaster and Sheffield.

Affected train routes include CrossCountry services between Leeds and York and LNER trains between Bradford Forster Square and Skipton, Harrogate, Leeds, and London Kings Cross.

Northern services are impacted between York, Leeds, Sheffield and Doncaster, with cancellations, delays and diversions expected up to 12:00 BST.

Rail replacement buses are available between Leeds, Wakefield Westgate and Doncaster, according to LNER.

Any ticket restrictions have been lifted during the disruption.
