    Harrogate services are back on track after a person was hit by a train this morning near Leeds.

    Trains on the Northern line between York, Harrogate and Leeds as well as the LNER line between London and Leeds were cancelled.

    The incident was first reported to British Transport Police (BTP) at 8am. Full service was restored shortly after 10am.

    Paramedics also attended reports of a casualty on the tracks near Horsforth in Leeds and took the person to hospital.

    BTP has since said it is not currently treating the incident as suspicious.
