  3. Selby to Hull rail problems caused by 'vandals or thieves'published at 10:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2017

    British Transport Police have launched an investigation to find out whether thieves or vandals caused major disruption on train services between Selby and Hull this morning.  

    A signal failure led to services being suspended and replacement buses being brought in for passengers.

    British Transport Police are investigating the incident

    A spokesman for Network Rail said a trackside cable had been put on the line at Hessle East Junction and was damaged by a passing train.

    This resulted in the signals not working.  

    It's still unclear if the cable was put on the line deliberately or thieves were trying to steal it.

    Trains are running again, but it could be a while before services return to normal.

    I'm at a Lincoln saleroom this morning as auctioneers prepare for their latest event - which has a rather unusual lot.

    This gold brooch was hidden in Scunthorpe as part of the Treasure City exhibition at Scunthorpe's 20-21 Arts Centre.

    It was found by Rachel Welch in a wall in the town's Kingsway Gardens.

    She's previously said she would sell it to pay for a holiday.
