If you've ever wondered why flooding hits train services, Network Rail have produced a video to explain, external.
There were cancellations this morning on services between Shrewsbury and Hereford caused by the heavy rain overnight and yeasterday.

A woman, who operated an illegal money lending business in the town, has been ordered to pay back £11,600 following a hearing at Worcester Crown Court today.
Donna Whyte, 43, of Aldington Close, Redditch, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to three separate charges relating to her operation.
The case follows a joint investigation by the England Illegal Money Lending team (EIML), Worcestershire Regulatory Services Trading Standards and West Mercia Police.
Whyte had around 50 regular victims, often with multiple loans each, ranging from £100 to £400, and she charged 50% interest, says EIML.
Quote MessageToday, another loan shark has been ordered to pay back for the crime that they once committed. It’s important to remember that loan sharks are only motivated by greed and should never been used."
Tony Quigley, Head of Service for the England Illegal Money Lending team
