A road vehicle fire earlier this morning has caused damage to a bridge between Rugby and Coventry. This has resulted in all lines being blocked by engineers due to potential structural damage caused by the heat.
A structural engineer is currently on site assessing the bridge.
Trains are currently unable to run between Rugby and Coventry. Journeys may be delayed by up to 90 minutes. Some trains will be able to divert via Stafford. We anticipate disruption will continue until 11:00.
