Our video team report from the scene of the Severn Valley Railway slide, which followed torrential rain.
Part of the Severn Valley Railway was washed away and dozens of homes flooded by torrential rain which turned the Wyre Forest into a "mini-Boscastle."
Two-thirds of the railway were closed when two weeks' worth of rain fell in 45 minutes, causing landslides which blocked sections of track between Arley and Hampton Loade.
