THE first rush-hour of the week is reasonably quiet so far in Bolton, but motorists using the region's motorways should take heed of delays.

There is slow traffic on the M61 southbound between junction four at Farnworth and junction one at the Swinton Interchange, but nothing particularly unusual.

More severe delays are affecting the M62, however, with two lanes closed eastbound past junction 21 at Milnrow because of an accident involving two cars and a lorry.

Traffic is now queuing there.

Meanwhile, train services are reportedly running smoothly in and out of Bolton at the moment, according to National Rail.
