Rail passengers in Leeds have been left stranded on trains this evening with all lines blocked and severe delays due to flooding caused by Storm Franklin.

National Rail tweeted that "all lines at Leeds are blocked due to damage caused by the wind and flooding", with disruption expected for the rest of the day.

A boat which has crashed into a bridge between Leeds and Huddersfield has caused lines between those two places to be blocked and again, National Rail has warned of severe delays.
