West Midlands Railway has warned of another day of delays and cancellations on the Chase Line between Hednesford and Rugeley Trent Valley.

The line was left closed on Monday after the damage was reported, with trains unable to run between Rugeley Trent Valley and Hednesford due to the issues and rail replacement bus services in place.

A spokesman said: "Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley, the line is closed.

"Train services running through these stations may be cancelled. Disruption is expected until the end of today (November 12).

"Services will be terminating and starting at Hednesford and rail replacement coaches are in operation between Hednesford and Rugeley Trent Valley."
