Possible disruption - Asda lorry stuck under Bower Road overbridge immediately north of Harrogate station. Nothing yet on Network Rails tweets but normally they suspend services until the bridge has been checked.

Trains Between Huddersfield - Stalybridge subject to severe disruption. Looks like Diggle Jn box has been struck by lightning and has blacked out all signalling west of Standedge
Also all Bradford - Ilkley trains suspended for at least the next few days due to a Landslip between Baildon and Guiseley
All Leeds - London KX trains suspended due to a house on fire near Retford next to the line.
Flash flooding on several lines, delays everywhere

Line between Guiseley and Shipley confirmed closed tomorrow. No update as to the seriousness or duration of the incident.
Buses will replace trains between Guiseley and Shipley. Sounds as though Ilkley to Leeds trains will run but Ilkley to Bradford will not, meaning a reduced service between Ilkley and Guiseley.

A bit more local news on the land slip m.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/14541744.Flash_flooding_cancels_rail_travel_between_Shipley_and_Bradford/?ref=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebookTRAIN services between Bradford Forster Square and Ilkley will stay cancelled for the rest of today and all o ftomorrow because of a landslip at Baildon caused by flash flooding. A Northern Rail spokesman said: "We are working closely with our colleagues at Network Rail to keep the disruption down to a minimum and return services to normal as soon as we can." Replacement buses will run between Shipley and Guiseley calling at Baildon until further notice.

Wrong type of Wallaby on the tracks. Yes it was in West Yorkshire/Manchester where the delays were only minor when an escaped Wallaby on the tracks. The marsupial was seen on the tracks between Huddersfield and Stalybridge earlier, after it was believed to have fled from a nearby animal farm. Services had to run slower than normal as they passed through the area until it was reported to be clear of danger. National Rail Enquiries tweeted it was "causing delays of up to ten minutes." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-36808089 Ross Easton, from Network Rail, said: "With summer holidays coming up, we are reminding everyone - especially kids and young people - to stay off the tracks. "However, wallabies are a new one on us. We hope the little critter will have hopped off the track and back to safety." The company said trains were now running according to schedule. A wallaby was also filmed hopping through a field in nearby Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire by Dave Beaumont at 06:30 BST on Thursday.
