Rail passengers face delays from signalling fault
Rail passengers in the West Midlands are being warned of disruption due to a broken down train and a signalling fault. National Rail said the issue with the signalling system between Wolverhampton and Sandwell and Dudley on Friday morning meant trains were running at slower speeds on all lines. A spokesperson said lines have since reopened but trains between Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street might be delayed for up to 45 minutes, with disruption expected until at least 08:00 BST. Passengers were urged to check their journeys before travelling, with tickets being accepted on some alternative train and tram routes. National Rail said a train had also broken down between Wolverhampton and Stafford, with some services running through the stations delayed or diverted. On X, CrossCountry Trains said "due to the theft of signalling cables," between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton, services would not be calling at Wolverhampton until further notice.
