Shropshire train passengers affected by signalling fault in Birmingham

Shropshire train passengers are facing delays this morning following a signalling problem near Birmingham New Street station.

Services to and from Shropshire are being affected following a power issue which caused signalling issues at around 4am.

Services affected include Arriva Trains Wales, London Midland and Virgin Trains.

Network Rail says engineers are still working to fix the signalling problem near Birmingham New Street, however they have now managed to reopen all lines at the station.

Trains to, from and through Birmingham New Street may still be delayed by up to 60 minutes as services return to normal.

Congestion at the station also means that some services may be altered or cancelled.

A disruption to services is expected to last until around 12pm.
