'Severe weather' causes 'major problems' on Birmingham New Street rail route
Severe weather is causing "major problems" on one of Birmingham New Street's rail routes, according to West Midlands railway.
There are reportedly cancellations to services between Lichfield Trent Valley and Birmingham New Street.
This is apparently "due to severe weather" and all lines are closed.
Disruption was expected to last until at least 9am.
It comes after strike action completely shut down Birmingham's main rail hub on Saturday.
Rail operators like Avanti West Coast and West Midlands Railway urged people "not to travel" as they cancelled all their services.
Trams were also halted in central Birmingham yesterday as fire crews dealt with a blaze on Broad Street.
More strike action is planned by the RMT Union on August 18 and August 20.
