A fault was detected on the UK's only sliding swing railway bridge near Scunthorpe.
The original Keadby sliding bridge dates to the 1860s and is the only one of its kind in the UK, according to Network Rail
Network Rail said a key component in the mechanism, which allows the unique railway bridge, near Keadby, in North Lincolnshire, to slide open, had failed. The company said train services between Doncaster and Scunthorpe were unaffected and it was hoped the bridge would reopen by "the end of next week".
