The reason for the cancellations has been placed on "a shortage of train crew members".

A Network Rail spokesman said: "A shortage of train crew means that the Northern service between Manchester Victoria and Blackpool North has been suspended.

"Customers are advised to use alternative train services between Manchester Piccadilly and Blackpool."

"In addition to this, replacement road transport will operate between Blackpool North and Layton and between Preston and Bolton in both directions.

"Disruption to these services is expected to continue until the end of the day."
