TRAINS are having to be cancelled after a bomb was found near the railway.

Services between Guiseley and Ilkley Railway Stations are being disrupted after the discovery close to the line serving the two locations.

The item has been described on National Rail's website as a "wartime bomb" and it is believed the historic explosive has been found near Burley-in-Wharfedale.

Disruption is expected to last until 1pm.

Rail replacement buses are running between Guiseley and Ilkley in both directions.

These are every half hour and journey times are extended by up to 20 minutes.

People at Leeds are advised to travel on alternative services to Shipley and change there for rail connections to Guiseley.
