Trains between Leeds, Huddersfield and Calderdale are blocked this afternoon (Weds) as emergency services respond to reports of a woman being struck by a train.

Paramedics are at the scene near Cottingley Station, just outside of Leeds, where the woman was found with injuries "consistent with being struck by a train".

British Transport Police said they were called just after 1pm and that all services would be blocked until at least 5pm.

Trains affected include TransPennine Express services between Leeds, Dewsbury, and Huddersfield, as well at Northern trains between Leeds and Sowerby Bridge.
