Major disruption at Birmingham New Street

Rail services between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton were cancelled, causing major disruption.

Damage to overhead wires in a tunnel in west Birmingham meant the disruption lasted until the end of Tuesday.

New Street is the UK's busiest station outside of London, with about 7.4m journeys recorded in 2021.

Earlier there were no trains running in or out of New Street due to the problems.

Services resumed, but passengers faced delays.

Trains from operators Avanti, CrossCountry, West Midlands Railway and Transport for Wales were all affected by the issue on the line between the two West Midlands cities.

A New Street spokesperson said power to the affected section of the railway needed to be cut off while wires were reattached to the tunnel roof, and it had meant no trains could run through it in the meantime.

The disruption came as tram users in Birmingham also face problems, with all services suspended for weeks after cracks were found in some vehicles.
