Journeys between Scunthorpe and Barnetby are now running normally.

This latest rail issue follows a major landslip on the line between Scunthorpe and Doncaster, which could take until June to repair.

The landslip, which happened towards the start of February, has resulted in a replacement bus service between the two stations while repairs are carried out.
