Nunthorpe road blocked after rail crossing failure

The incident has led to Guisborough Road, between Marton Moor Road and The Crescent in Nunthorpe, to become completely blocked off, and trains, which are scheduled to come through, are at a standstill.

Road maps, run by AA, have reported that there is “queueing traffic due to a railroad crossing failure on Guisborough Road, both ways between Marton Moor Road and The Crescent.”

It’s understood that trains towards Middlesbrough are also impacted at this time.

This incident comes amid train services between Middlesbrough and Redcar Central/Saltburn are currently unable to run after a burst water main caused flooding on the railway.

All lines between Middlesbrough and Redcar Central are blocked, meaning trains are either being cancelled or revised so they do not operate through the affected section.

Disruption is expected to continue until at least 7pm tonight (June 27).

Buses from Middlesbrough to Saltburn are scheduled at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm and 10pm.

Services from Saltburn to Middlesbrough are scheduled at 10.05am, 11.05am, 12.05pm, 4.05pm, 5.05pm, 6.05pm and 10.05pm.
