It's that time of year again, leaves on the line... 🍂🙄
Well, we're here to tell you: It's Not Just A Leaf!
It's millions of leaves falling onto the tracks which, when crushed under passing trains, can turn into slippery mulch - the black ice of the railway.
But don't worry, we're ready for autumn! Teams across Northern, @TPExpressTrains, @networkrail and wider industry are working together to tackle leaf fall, reduce disruption and keep you moving safely.
⚠️ Due to a train fault between #Blackpool & #Preston, some services may be cancelled or delayed.
Customers are advised to check @nationalrailenq for the latest details ℹ️
We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused.
