Rail services have been cancelled in Herefordshire today.
All trains have been suspended through Hereford due to a shortage of signalling staff at the main Hereford signal box.
Services from West Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway and Transport for Wales have all been cancelled until at least 6pm today (August 22).
This comes after days of disruption over the summer due to strikes, and a staff shortage at the same signal box in March.

This will also affect passengers wanting to travel to London, either via Oxford, or via Newport.
Customers have been advised to allow extra time for their journey.
