Thieves stole over £100,000 worth of power cables from a railway line between Chorley and Bolton, disrupting train services up to Preston. The theft occurred just before the line was set to be energized. Network Rail has closed the line on Sunday to replace the cables, with buses providing alternative transport. The company apologized and is working with the police to catch the thieves and enhance security.
