Due to a points failure between Shrewsbury (SHR) and Birmingham International (BHI):

Services will be delayed by up to 60 minutes.

Services will be cancelled in both directions between Shrewsbury (SHR) and Birmingham International (BHI).

We expect the incident to last until 20:00 and disruption to services is expected until 23:00.

We have been made aware of a points failure between Shrewsbury and Birmingham International.

As a result, train services will not be able to run through the area until the points have been fixed.

Our colleagues at Network Rail Infrastructure are aware of the problem and expect this to last all day.

We will publish more information here, once we have received an update from the infrastructure technicians.

Please check back shortly. We apologise for the disruption caused to your journey.
