Dewsbury landslip-hit railway line reopens

A wall near Dewsbury station crumbled on Wednesday morning

A railway line in West Yorkshire which was closed after a landslip has reopened, Network Rail confirmed.

Part of a wall near Thornhill Road in Dewsbury collapsed last Wednesday morning, causing a landslip stretching several metres next to the line.

Transpennine Express and Northern rail services were affected.

The closure was causing problems for trains between Leeds and Huddersfield but Network Rail said services were now running as normal.
