Rail commuters are facing ongoing delays and disruption between Piccadilly and London Euston following damage to overhead electric wires.

Northern and Virgin train services have been delayed or cancelled due to damaged overhead wires between Stoke-On-Trent and Macclesfield.

All stations between Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent are currently blocked as a result of the damage.

This in turn is having a knock on effect to services travelling between Manchester and London.

The disruption is currently expected to continue until at least 4pm this afternoon.

Northern passengers travelling between Piccadilly and Stoke-On-Trent can use their rail tickets on a replacement service.

Rail passengers can board the 15.56pm replacement services at Stoke-On-Trent calling at all booked stations to Macclesfield, where customers can connect for a rail service to Manchester.

A 15.20pm replacement bus from Macclesfield will call at all booked stops to Stoke-On-Trent.

Those travelling with Virgin Trains are able to use their ticket on CrossCountry services between Stoke-On-Trent and Stockport - in that direction only.
