Here's all the train cancellations and delays across Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract, and Knottingley as Storm Otto causes chaos

Trains across the county have been delayed and cancelled this morning (Friday, February 17) as Storm Otto swept across most places in the north of England and Scotland.

The Met Office has warned we can expect gusts in excess of 75mph in some parts of the area this afternoon as the weather front moves across the region.

All lines are blocked at Leeds Railway Station due to an object being caught in the electric wires, which is causing delays and cancellations on train services around Wakefield, Pontefract and Castleford.

For the most up-to-date information check with your rail provider before travelling.
