Following a broken down train between Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe all lines have reopened. As service recovers, trains may still be cancelled or diverted. This is expected until 09:30.

Customer Advice:

Rail Replacement transport has been requested to shuttle between Stafford and Crewe to call all stations via Stoke-on-Trent in both directions.

You can use your ticket on Avanti West Coast services between Wolverhampton and Liverpool Lime Street, but these are likely to be impacted by disruption as well.
