West Midlands Railway alerted train passengers to a signalling fault on Tuesday afternoon. The fault, between Birmingham New Street and Aston, had resulted in lines becoming blocked.
It warned journeys to Walsall will be impacted as well as those on the Cross City North line, which runs between Lichfield Trent Valley and Birmingham New Street.
In a statement on its website, the regional rail operator added that train services running between Birmingham New Street and Aston may be cancelled or delayed.
In an update just after 1.10pm, it said the issue had been resolved with services starting to run as normal, but warned of residual delays.
Disruption was also been reported between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton as a result of a signalling fault, which has left trains running at a reduced speed.
West Midlands Railway said trains running between the stations could be delayed or cancelled for up to 30 minutes, with problems expected on the line until around 1pm.
