There was a tree on the line at Plumley early afternoon but when they got that moved another tree fell on the line between Mickle Trafford and Delamere (I'm not sure exactly where.)

Someone told me the plan was to start turning trains back at Greenbank (where there's a crossover point) at around 6pm but a problem with a signal meant they couldn't do it until after 8pm, by which time the Chester bound line had a load of trains sat at red signals with passengers going nowhere.
