There has been two further issues, which are now cleared but have continued to cause delays.
A spokesperson for National Rail said: “A points failure between York and Darlington means that all lines are blocked. As a result, trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 30 minutes.
“Additionally, a vehicle striking a bridge at York means the line is also disrupted. Trains running to / from / through this station may also be delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.”
Disruption from these incidents is expected until at least 7pm today.
