Storm Franklin: Flooding closes Thackley railway tunnel

A railway tunnel in West Yorkshire has been closed due to flooding caused by the arrival of Storm Franklin.

Network Rail - who shared footage taken by an engineer - said flooding at the Thackley Tunnel means no trains are running between Leeds and Ilkley/Shipley.

Storm Franklin comes days after Storm Eunice killed three people and left 1.4 million homes without power, with nearly 56,000 still to be reconnected.
