An entire day of services on a West Midlands rail route has been cancelled because of a shortage of trains.

Transport for Wales (TfW) said there would be no trains running between Shrewsbury and Birmingham International stations on Tuesday because of “more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time”.

West Midlands Railway services between Birmingham and Shrewsbury were running as normal on Tuesday and TfW said tickets would be accepted on those trains.

“We apologise for the disruption to your journeys,” TfW said on its website.
