The delays are one of many within Northern Rail this morning, with more delays between Halifax and Brigmorden reported by the rail service.

Salford Crescent and Salford Central seem to have been affected greatly by the suspensions, with angry commuters taking to Twitter to voice their concerns about the Salford/Manchester congestion.

@northernassist Clitheroe to Rochdale train delayed at every single station on the route. Currently stopped just outside Salford Central, almost 40 minutes late and counting. There is literally something every day at the moment. #NorthernRail
