Flooding in Hope Valley leads to cancellation of Stockport to Sheffield trains

Trains travelling between Stockport and Sheffield have been cancelled after a railway flooded in Hope Valley.

East Midlands Railway said the heavy flooding at the section of railway in Edale is disrupting trains on its Liverpool Lime Street/ Nottingham/ Norwich route.

This route also passes through Chesterfield, Alfreton, Ilkeston and Nottingham.

A spokesman for EMR said: "We are currently looking at alternative transport to keep you on the move.

"At present Network Rail are sending a team to investigate the problem.

"At present we do not have an estimate as to when the line will re-open."
