RAIL replacement vehicles are in operation between Bromsgrove and Droitwich due to a signalling fault.

The fault means the line towards Bromsgrove is blocked.

This resulted in the busy 7.32am service from Hereford to Birmingham New Street being diverted between Droitwich and Birmingham New Street.

West Midlands Railway said road transport has been booked to transport ticket holders between Droitwich Spa and Bromsgrove in both directions until further notice.

Updates to follow.
