National Rail and Transport for Wales say disruption is expected until 4pm on Monday and services could be cancelled or delayed by up to half an hour.

A spokesperson for TfW said: “We have received reports that a train has broken down across a set of points just outside of Shrewsbury station.

“As a result, some services may be diverted to a different platform or not call at Shrewsbury station all together. 

“We are currently waiting on a rescue locomotive to attach onto the broken down train and to clear the points.”
