00:00The British Transport Police are on the investigation area and so on.
00:12We were asking them to, well not us but our controller, we were asking them to allow us to go through what they call the slow line.
00:22There's two sets of tracks at Leyland station and we were asking them if they would let us through the slow one and try and get things moving that way.
00:37But the British Transport Police say that the incident that they are dealing with here at Leyland station is unexplained.
00:49It was an unexplained incident so they are trying to do a forensic investigation on the entire station including the tracks that we were intending to go on.
01:03So we are having to wait for that to happen first before we will be given any green light to move forward.
01:11I am sorry but as it is a police investigation at the moment in time there is nothing that either Northern or Network Rail will be able to do.
01:23We do apologise for all the delay and disruption at the moment. Thank you.
