Rail services between Walsall and Birmingham hit by delays through signalling issue
Rail users have been hit with further travel issues after a signalling issue on a major line.
The issue occurred around 8.51am on the line between Walsall and Birmingham New Street and saw the signalling system develop a fault.

The service said the disruption was expected to last until around 2pm.

"Disruption is expected to last until around 2pm today.
"Train services running between Birmingham,Walsall and Rugeley may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
