"Road transport has been ordered to shuttle between these stations in both directions."

Disruption is expected until the end of Wednesday this week, National Rail said.

"Flooding between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton means all lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled or revised. This is expected until the end of the day Wednesday, October 2."

On X, formerly Twitter, Wellington Station posted a photo of the tracks under water.

There was more disruption due to a tree blocking the line between Snow Hill and Dorridge, in the Solihull area, this morning.

Buses were ordered to shuttle passengers between Snow Hill and Dorridge, and Dorridge and Stratford-Upon-Avon.
