Power being restored as region recovers from storm

Power has been restored to thousands of homes across Yorkshire after disruption to the network was caused by Storm Boelo over the weekend.

Normal service has also resumed at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) after several flights were cancelled on Sunday, although some disruption continues on railways in the storm's aftermath.

About 127,000 customers had lost power over the weekend across the north of England, but supply had been restored to most of them on Sunday night, according to Northern Powergrid.

However, about 13,000 were expected to still be without power on Monday morning, a spokesperson for the company said.

In a statement on Sunday night, a spokesperson for LBA said: "Weather conditions have improved and operations are returning to normal."

Airlines were "working hard to reposition aircraft and crew back to LBA" ahead of flights on Monday, they said.

"At this stage, significant further disruption is not expected. However, please check directly with your airline for the latest information."

Rail operator Northern said several stations in West Yorkshire would be served by "fewer trains than normal" on Monday, and disruption was "expected until the end of the day".

Some trains between Leeds and York on the Harrogate line would not call at Headingley or Weeton, while trains travelling from Leeds to Chester would not call at Bramley, according to Northern.

Passengers travelling into Leeds from Bramley were unaffected by the disruption due to Storm Boelo, the train operator added.

All trains between Hull and Halifax would start and finish at Bradford Interchange, although Northern said Halifax would still be served via other rail routes.

Meanwhile, some services running between York and Blackpool North would not call at New Pudsey.
