Trains are back to normal this morning after major disruption in the Hull area caused by over-running engineering works.

Network Rail said the work had been planned "meticulously", but trains were not ready to run between Hull and Selby.

Testing of new equipment took "longer than anticipated", the firm said, which led to delays for passengers travelling from Hull to York, London and Leeds.

Amy Brenndorfer, from Network Rail, said: "We plan projects like this meticulously, sometimes things do go wrong and when they do, we work as quickly as possible to resolve them.

"We do understand this is disruptive. It's a Monday morning and we can only apologise for that," she added.

James Atkinson, 32, from Seacroft, was reported missing on Saturday evening when concerns were raised for his welfare.

They'll replace Vivienne Faull, who became Dean at York Minster in 2012, a position she held for six years until being chosen as Bishop of Bristol earlier this year.

The Dean of York is responsible for the day-to-day running of the historic York Minster and the new holder of the title will be announced by the Archbishop of York.

It's thought the first stone church was built on the site of the present day Minster in the year 633.

The building of a new cathedral was begun after the Minster was burnt during an invasion by William the Conqueror's army in 1069.

As the tallest building in the city York Minster dominates the city's skyline.

Earlier this year a decade-long project to refurbish its vast expanse of medieval stained glass was finished.

All 311 glass panels were removed from the 600-year-old Great East Window in 2008.

Rail passengers have faced major disruption this morning as trains were unable to travel between Hull and Selby due to over-running engineering works.

This has also affected passengers travelling from Hull to York, London and Leeds.

Network Rail has apologised and all lines have now reopened, with services returning to normal. However, some trains may still be delayed or cancelled.

One train passenger in Hull this morning told the BBC: "It's a joke, they need to get the services sorted."

A new project is due to start at a Yorkshire power station today which it's said could make its renewable electricity "carbon negative", meaning it takes out more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it creates.

The trial, at Drax Power Station near Selby, will use technology that removes gases which cause global warming by capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, while at the same time producing electricity.

If successful, the six-month pilot project will capture a tonne of CO2 a day from the gases produced when renewable power is generated by burning wooden pellets.

Police are appealing for witnesses following a crash on a major road in Leeds at the weekend in which one man died.
