Drivers and rail passengers have been hit by a series of level crossing faults across Doncaster which left a number of gates closed to motorists.

Crossings on the Doncaster to Gainsborough and Lincoln line have been impacted throughout the day, with crossing gates staying closed for motorists – in some cases for reportedly up to hours at a time.

It is understood a number of crossings in the Finningley and Wroot areas were among those impacted.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We are sorry to passengers and motorists who have been impacted by a fault with our signalling systems which had a knock-on impact on level crossings between Doncaster and Beckingham.
