Rail operator West Midlands Railway took to social media to warn passengers of the issues.

Emergency services have been called to the scene on Friday at about 6pm.

A passenger, who had parked her car at Bescot station for the day, told the Express & Star: "I went to Birmingham with my baby, but there were no trains back to Walsall so I had a call a Uber taxi to get back here to pick up my car. I have no idea what happened as the New Street staff didn't say what the problem was."

The operator's Twitter post said: "Problems reported. Cancellations to services between Tame Bridge Parkway and Walsall.

"Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident near the railway between Tame Bridge Parkway and Walsall the line is blocked."
