Rail passengers disrupted after wires damaged
Most platforms were unavailable from about 14:00 BST on Wednesday due to an issue with overhead electric wires, National Rail said.
Passengers were warned their trains could be cancelled, delayed by up to two hours or not run for their full route.
National Rail added that trains run by Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, London Northwestern Railway, Transport for Wales and West Midlands Railway were affected.
The wires were damaged between New Street and Water Orton in Warwickshire, according to post on X by Transport for West Midlands.
On some lines, passengers can use their train tickets on other routes while on other lines, replacement buses were being used or have been requested, National Rail added.
By about 16:10 BST, they said some lines have reopened following the damage to the wires but urged passengers to check before they travelled.

I was stranded on a cross-country train until a cleaner spotted me. Enough is enough
Disability and commuter organisations are urging the government to get accessibility back on the map in its upcoming Railways Bill. A disabled man who was stranded on a train before he was eventually spotted by a cleaner is joining a call to get the government to make railways more accessible for disabled travellers. Doug Paulley, who lives in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, spoke to Yahoo News about how he has spent years dealing with transport nightmares as a disabled man, including being left stranded on trains with no staff around to assist him. The wheelchair user recalled times where he had resorted to pulling the emergency cord to alert staff that he was still on board and had been left without assistance on a train that had reached its final stop, "with nobody on the train, even to answer the emergency button to find me". Paulley, a highly respected disability campaigner, won a judicial review challenging the government's attempt to close train ticket offices across England in December 2023. He said he wanted to share how "highly stressful" getting a train as a disabled traveller can be in the UK to highlight the urgent need to make rail travel significantly more accessible for disabled people. He is joining 10 disability and commuter organisations urging the government to get accessibility back on the map in its upcoming Railways Bill, with "all of the previous government's pledges abandoned." Their demands include full staffing for trains, stations and ticket offices, the government to set a deadline for all stations to have step-free access, as well as 'turn up and go' travel — allowing disabled passengers to travel spontaneously on the rail network without needing to pre-book assistance in advance. The Bill, which was placed under consultation in February, aims to reform the railways, bringing them back into public ownership as well as make booking trains easier, and less costly. But plans to put accessibility as a statutory duty "at the heart" of the new Great British Railways (GBR) appear to have been dropped in the latest consultation documents. 'I was just stuck there' Paulley told Yahoo News about one journey on a CrossCountry Trains service earlier this year where he was stranded at Newcastle station, and almost ended up unwillingly travelling to the other side of the country before staff noticed he was on board and needed assistance to get off the train. Speaking about the experience, Paulley told Yahoo News: "It wasn't supposed to be my train, but my train was running really late and you know how it is, you just get on whatever's available. "The train got to Newcastle, everybody got off, the lights went off and nobody was there. "In the end, I tweeted CrossCountry and they tried to get somebody to see me, but the driver got on to take the service south again, setting back in the direction of Taunton. "The cleaner spotted me and eventually they managed to attract the attention of a member of staff on the platform who got me off the train. "It's scary thinking that nobody checked the train to check that it was properly empty before turning everything off and leaving. I was just stuck there." Unreliable — and unsafe Paulley is keen to emphasise that it's "not just the journey" that is a nightmare for disabled people. "It causes stress and distress on the run-up and afterwards as well, and work. A lot of stations aren't accessible to me in that they've got no step free access to some or all platforms. "They're inaccessible to other people because they don't have the staff that they need, particularly in driver-only operated areas where there's no guards. "I can't just turn up at a non-staff station because there'll be nobody to put the ramp down. With a lack of level boarding, I just can't get on or off it. The spontaneity is gone. "They might try and book me an accessible taxi to somewhere else, but that is very unreliable and lots of the time very unsafe. "Even when there are staff present, they can often forget." Blocked from easy and convenient travel Currently, only 13% of disabled people can use trains with confidence and ease, according to research carried out by advocacy group Transport for All. Emma Vogelmann, co-CEO of Transport for All, told Yahoo News: 'Our trains should give everyone the freedom to make everyday journeys - to work, to school, or just for fun. "But ongoing problems with our rail system are blocking disabled people from being able to travel easily – basic facilities like lifts, waiting rooms and display screens are broken, locked or missing. "In July 2024, Keir Starmer promised that accessibility would be at the heart of our new rail system, that's all that's needed to put things on the right track, so everyone – disabled or not - can travel easily on our trains.' Rensa Gaunt, a spokesperson for Inclusion London, a deaf and disabled people's organisation, told Yahoo News: "Reliable access to transport unlocks jobs, education and community. But the current railway system blocks us from easy and convenient travel, and makes us reliant on assistance that doesn't always turn up. In some cases, we are left stuck on trains, or are forced to cancel our journeys partway through. "We support the call to restore accessibility as an urgent priority, and to strategically plan with disabled people for a railway that we can all use reliably. "We need this and it needs to happen. Otherwise, disabled people continue to be excluded and have terrible experiences on the rail for the foreseeable future." A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "Accessibility is a core priority for Great British Railways (GBR) and we are committed to delivering a rail system which allows disabled people to travel easily, confidently and with dignity. 'We are considering all options to ensure accessibility is at the heart of GBR, such as creating a powerful new passenger watchdog to ensure services work for disabled passengers, and later this year we will publish a roadmap setting out our approach to delivering a more accessible railway.'

Higher airfares and hotel prices predicted to push up UK inflation in July
Prices in the UK are set to have risen faster last month as school holidays boosted travel costs and grocery bills remain elevated, economists said. Some experts said an 'Oasis bump' could have contributed to higher accommodation prices in July. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will publish the latest inflation dataset on Wednesday. The rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation is widely expected to have increased to 3.7% in July, from the 3.6% recorded in June. The school summer holidays are likely to have seen airfares rise considerably, with airlines typically bumping up prices in July amid stronger demand from families. Analysts for Pantheon Macroeconomics forecast that airfares could surge by 17.1% between June and July. Rail costs and package holidays are also set to have jumped amid the spike in summer travel. July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation will also be announced on Wednesday. The Government has not confirmed how it will determine the cap on regulated train fare rises in England in 2026, but this year's 4.6% hike was one percentage point above RPI in July 2024. Banking group Investec has forecast this year's July RPI figure will be 4.5%, which means fares could jump by 5.5%. Pressure group Railfuture told the PA news agency 'it would be outrageous' if fares rose by that much. Meanwhile, economists have pointed to a possible spike in hotel prices helping drive up CPI inflation in July. Sanjay Raja, senior economist for Deutsche Bank, said this could partly be attributed to British band Oasis kicking off their reunion tour in July. The concerts brought in hordes of fans to arenas in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh, which could have driven greater demand for hotel rooms. Accommodation prices could rise by as much as 9% in July, compared with June, 'with the Oasis concerts having a strong impact on Manchester prices alone', the economist said. Mr Raja is predicting headline UK inflation will have risen to 3.8% in July. Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets for Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'The Oasis tour, which saw high demand for hospitality around the gig dates, has the potential to push up inflation in the sector during July. 'We are unlikely to see the Gallagher effect show up in quite the same way as Taylor Swift's bump to prices in June 2024. 'But demand for hotel rooms, beer, bucket hats and Nineties-style gear could be one of the factors that keep inflation heading higher.' Food prices have also been rising in recent months – partly driven by higher ingredients, labour and regulatory costs. Annual food price inflation increased for the third month in a row in June, hitting the highest rate since February 2024. Victoria Scholar, head of investment for Interactive Investor, said there were 'particular worries about domestic food price inflation as well as uncertainty around how (US President Donald) Trump's tariffs could push up prices'. The Bank of England is forecasting that inflation will increase further this year and peak at about 4% in September, before easing throughout the next two years. The central bank said accelerating food and energy prices have been key drivers in the uptick in inflation.
