Trains between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton cancelled and delayed after signal problems at Cosford
Morning commuters have had trains cancelled and delayed between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton this morning after problems with signals on the line.
Network Rail said issues had been caused by a faulty power cable at Cosford and that it would be investigating a solution which it hoped would be implemented overnight.
In the mean time they will power the signal with a temporary generator, meaning that services should get back to normal
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "There has been a problem with the power cable in that area, meaning there's a power failure to the signals.
"The cable is 3 and a half miles long, so we're now working to identify where the fault is.
"In the mean time we've got a generator out to power the faulty signal, and that will mean services will get back to normal soon.
"It shouldn't be too long, we've fixed it with a temporary solution, but a longer term solution should be put in place hopefully through the night."
