STOURBRIDGE rail commuters came unstuck yesterday (Tuesday) when a combination of bad weather and engineering work caused the closure of the Snow Hill line for more than ten hours.

There was early disruption in the day when engineering work at Worcester Foregate Street overran.

Buses were laid on for commuters travelling from Stourbridge Junction to Foregate Street.

However, the entire Snow Hill line was closed altogether from mid afternoon when torrential rain caused a landslide between Smethwick Galton Bridge and Langley Green.

London Midland spokesman Francis Thomas said: "The Snow Hill line was back up and running from early Wednesday morning.

"However commuters are reminded they can claim compensation if their train is delayed by more than half an hour.

"Details of how to claim are available on our website, at any manned train station or on the London Midland App."
