TRAIN services between Redditch and Birmingham appear to be back to normal after the previous delays.
Earlier today West Midlands Railways said due to an 'operational incident' between Birmingham New Street and Redditch fewer trains were able to run on the line towards Longbridge.
As a result train services running to and from these stations were cancelled or delayed.
The company tweeted that road transport has been requested to shuttle between Longbridge, Redditch and Bromsgrove (via all stations).
