A factory fire near the railway line between Todmorden and Rochdale has caused "severe disruption" to services this morning.

There will be no services on that part of the route until at least 9am because it is "unsafe" to run them, Northern said.

"This means services between Manchester Victoria and Leeds are severely disrupted," a spokesperson said.
