ALL trains going from Birmingham New Street to Redditch and Bromsgrove have been cancelled.

All lines are blocked due to a fallen tree near University Station.

The incident happened earlier today and teams have been working hard to remove the tree but there are still major delays.

A West Midlands Railway spokesman said: "Because of damage to the overhead electric wires between Birmingham New Street and Redditch all lines are blocked.

"Train services between Birmingham New Street and Hereford via Bromsgrove and Droitwich Spa may be revised.

"We've been told that because of damage to the overhead wires at University all lines are blocked. This is affecting trains in both directions."

A number of replacement buses have been brought in to cover the routes.
