CROSS City Line trains between Bromsgrove and Birmingham are expected to run as normal this morning (Wednesday) after vandalism to railway equipment caused severe delays.

A fire near to the tracks at Bromsgrove, caused by damage to railway equipment, resulted in trains that would normally start and end at Bromsgrove terminating at Longbridge throughout Tuesday, with other services being cancelled.

Rail staff worked throughout the night to repair the damage and National Rail announced the line was clear to run at around 3am.
