Commuters are facing train cancellations until 3pm this afternoon after the overhead lines at Hamstead failed, blocking all other connecting lines. 

Initially, the fault caused delays of up to forty minutes on rail services between Birmingham and Walsall, but now the services have been suspended all together.

Passengers are advised that buses are running the same route and calling at all of the same stops. 

Information about compensation for cancelled and delayed trains can be found on the National Rail website
