Trains cancelled as Northwich Station roof collapses
The area remains cordoned off by Network Rail.
Network Rail has launched an investigation after the roof of Northwich Train Station collapsed.
Images on social media show a pile of rubble on the platform of the station, which has also blocked the train line forcing services to be cancelled.
It's not thought anyone has been injured.
Statement from Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service:
Firefighters were called to Northwich Train Station following reports of a wall and roof having collapsed, blocking the rail line.
The area has been cordoned off by firefighters and there are cancellations to train services, more details here:
Everyone present at the time was accounted for. The crew assessed the scene with representatives from Network Rail and notified council engineers.
Firefighters handed the incident over to Network Rail and the council, and left the scene at 12pm.
Weaver Vale MP Mike Amesbury released a statement:
"I was shocked to learn of a serious roof collapse at Northwich Railway Station this morning. My team have spoken to police and, miraculously, it appears nobody has been injured although there has been major disruption to the railway. Clearly there will need to be an official investigation to understand what has happened.
"Having just spoken to a senior Northern Rail manager, the priority is to make the area safe and get the trains running again. I am raising this matter with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps as a matter of urgency."
