Rail services severely disrupted and trees down as effects of Storm Claudia continue to be felt
West Midlands Railway is reporting "multiple trees down" and cancellations on two major train routes in the region.
Services on both the Snow Hill Line between Stourbridge, Kidderminster and Birmingham, and the Chase line between Walsall and Rugeley, are affected, with the operator reporting 'multiple trees' down on both routes.
A post on X also said that replacement buses were running between Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley and tickets were being accepted on National Express bus services between Birmingham and Stourbridge.
Earlier the company said services between Worcester, Kidderminster and Stourbridge were blocked due to fallen trees as Storm Claudia continued to make her presence felt.
The company is asking customers who plan to use services tonight and across the weekend to plan ahead and check their status.
Meanwhile Dudley Council is asking motorists using Stream Road in Kingswinford to try and find an alternative route after a fallen tree made the road impassable.
The Met Office has an amber weather warning in place for rain and wind across the region for the rest of today (Friday).
