There were no trains coming in or out of Birmingham New Street this afternoon after damage was sustained to overhead power lines.
On what has been confirmed as the hottest day ever in the UK, extreme temperatures have affected the station's 25,000 volt overhead cables, meaning no services can currently operate to and from the station.
All power has now been switched off to the high-voltage cables and Network Rail's rapid response team is dealing with the fault outside of the station. Network Rail said that engineers are working"as fast as they can" to resolve the issue but"at this time, there is no estimate as to when services will resume."
Network Rail’s Central route director, Denise Wetton, said: “As predicted the extreme temperatures have impacted our overhead cables which power trains and we’ve had to stop all trains at Birmingham New Street station.“We’re sorry to people impacted and we’re working as fast as we can to get things back up and running.
