DISRUPTION on the Cross City Line looks set to continue into Friday with no trains between Redditch and Birmingham New Street.

Services were cancelled from 7pm onwards on Thursday for the rest of the day. This was due to a tree on the line caused by Storm Goretti.

Heavy snow has also fallen in Birmingham and parts of Worcestershire.

Because of this, West Midlands Railway said it was also unable to provide rail replacement bus services.

People are being warned not travel with all Cross City Line services suspended.
