Can you tell me more about the incident?
A points failure is affecting some routes through this area.
Points are moveable sections of track that guide trains onto different routes at junctions. If they develop a fault due to obstructions, electronic failures or other issues, trains cannot safely pass.
Network Rail is sending teams to investigate. To work safely, they may need to stop trains, which could delay services.
Once on-site, they'll diagnose the fault and look for a quick fix. Some repairs may take longer if replacement parts or expert advice are needed.
