There is a fault with the signalling system between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton, disrupting some lines running between these stations.

As a result of this, trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes, revised or diverted.

This issue is expected to continue to impact services until 10:00.
