Storms across the West Midlands have led to more travel disruption.

Heavy rain flooded Hall Green station, causing disruption on the line between Kidderminster/Birmingham Moor Street and Whitlocks End/Stratford-upon-Avon. Passengers were able to use their tickets on bus services, West Midlands Railway said.

A flood warning for the Spadesbourne Brook in Bromsgrove was issued and the Met Office said a yellow warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms was in place. Police issued notices for drivers to be careful if out in the rain saying there was a lot of surface water.

The disruption follows a few days of heavy rain in the region.

Earlier this week, 55 homes in the Perry Barr area experienced internal flooding, with flooding also occurring in Stafford and Burntwood.

A flood warning on the River Stour in Worcestershire has been downgraded to an alert.
