RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)
Major incident at Whaley Bridge - the town has been evacuated as a reservoir dam wall is at risk of collapsing.

The Buxton to Hazel Grove line has been closed and is expected to remain closed tomorrow and Saturday.

Rail replacement buses are running between Macclesfield and Buxton with Buxton tickets being accepted on Virgin services to Macclesfield, also between Hazel Grove and Disley.

Passengers for New Mills Newton are advised to travel to New Mills Central.

Northern are saying no other places can be served but it appears High Peak Buses are currently running a limited Manchester Airport to Buxton (normal) bus service which is diverted via New Mills and Hayfield to avoid Whaley Bridge but should still serve Chapel-en-le-Frith and Doves Holes.
