delays trains
A FALLEN tree closed part of the rail track near Lostock for 90 minutes yesterday. A temporary speed restriction was later imposed while remaining branches were cleared.
A Railtrack spokesman said: "Trains coming south from Preston were diverted missing out Chorley, Adlington, Horwich and Lostock."
Trains travelling in the opposite direction were unaffected.
