Limited trains are running between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton on Sunday morning after Saturday's fiery car crash under a bridge.
Network Rail has said that"further repairs are needed" and train services remain disrupted after a VW Golf collided with a van and a blue BMW X1 at the point Manor Road becomes Spring Road, in the Ettingshall area of Wolverhampton, just after 11am on Saturday.
The organisation said the event had"caused ongoing signalling problems" that meant trains between Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street"may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised." Disruption is expected until approximately 12.00pm on Saturday. Routes affected include the Transport for Wales between Birmingham International and Aberystwyth/Holyhead and the West Midlands Railway between Birmingham New Street and Shrewsbury, and between Walsall and Wolverhampton.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson said:"The Golf had earlier been pursued after failing to stop for officers."A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop. He has been taken to hospital for treatment and will be spoken to in due course. "The collision led to a fire and officers managed to help the occupants of the BMW from their vehicle. A woman and two young children have been taken to hospital for further assessment although their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."
