The issue caused services to be suspended between Birmingham and Manchester after the works being carried out between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton overran.
CrossCountry Trains posted on X this morning: "Due to engineering works not being finished on time between Birmingham New Street - Wolverhampton, all lines are currently blocked.
"Diversionary routes are unavailable so services will be suspended between Birmingham New Street - Manchester Piccadilly until further notice."
However, issuing an update at just after 8am, it posted: " All lines have now reopened between Birmingham New Street - Wolverhampton so services can start to run as booked.
"Delays and/or cancellations may still occur due to crew and unit displacement."
