Welcome to Blue Monday - your train’s late!

BLUE Monday was a reality for rail commuters around Yorkshire when signalling and power supply problems, a broken down train and “poor rail conditions” led to delays and over-crowding on routes in several parts of the country.

The Monday morning journey to work became more of a trial, with delays of up to an hour.

Some of the worst disruption hit East Coast services between Leeds and Wakefield because of a fault on a train.

Signalling problems between Sheffield and Doncaster caused delays of up to 20 minutes, and there were also delays between Leeds and Ilkley.

The day had already been dubbed Blue Monday by some as the festive season became a distant memory and workers realised how long it would be before their next holiday.

Tetley branded today Brew Monday as it announced the return of a family used to advertise its products.
