Rail line between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton blocked as emergency services deal with 'incident'

Commuters between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton were told to expect cancellations on Friday morning due to an incident on the line.

West Midlands Railway said just before 8am on Friday that the line was blocked.

The rail firm said emergency services were dealing with an incident between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury and all lines were blocked between those stations.

It added that services were subject to cancellation.

“Road transport has been ordered between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury, calling at all stations,” a spokesperson said.

The line has since reopened, but people were still warned about delays.
