Rail line reopens between Wolverhampton and Birmingham after tree fall
Engineers were quickly deployed to the scene
Rail services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham have reopened after a tree fell onto the railway line just north of Coseley, causing disruption to journeys earlier today.
The fallen tree became entangled in the overhead power lines, leading to delays and cancellations while Network Rail teams worked to make the area safe and repair the damage.
Engineers were quickly deployed to the scene to remove the tree and restore the overhead line equipment, allowing services to resume.
A spokesperson said: "The line has now reopened between Wolverhampton and Birmingham after a tree fell on the railway just north of Coseley. Our teams quickly got on site to remove the tree and get services moving again. Thanks to passengers for their patience while we worked to fix the issue."
