SOME trains between Redditch, Bromsgrove and Birmingham New Street are being cancelled or delayed due to damage to overhead electric wires.

The damage is at Kings Norton and is causing trains to be delayed by up to 15 minutes or even cancelled.

Ticket acceptance has been arranged with National Express West Midlands and road transport has been requested to run between Longbridge and Redditch, Blake Street and Lichfield.

Network Rail say delays are expected until 3.30pm.
