  • Published

Rail passengers have been warned to expect delays and cancellations to train services between Kidderminster and Whitlocks End.

A tree fell on the line in the Stourbridge area, near Dudley, at about 11:45 BST but has since been cleared.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Railway said: "The tree has been removed, services will begin to run to timetable.

"Please expect residual delays as we recover the service."

Three coaches would remain in use as a replacement service between Worcester and Stourbridge, they added.
