Some trains from Leamington have been suspended today (June 25) as a rail has buckled under the "extreme temperatures".

West Midlands Railway has suspended all services between Coventry and Leamington Spa.

The operator says no trains will run "until further notice".

The rail buckled on Wednesday (June 24).

WMR has confirmed it will continue operating a reduced timetable on many routes tomorrow (Friday 26 June) due to the continuing high temperatures.

Trains to London are also running at reduced speed or being cancelled by Chiltern due to the same defect.

"Train services running through this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 10 minutes," Chiltern said.

"Disruption is expected until 20:00 25/06."

Jonny Wiseman, WMR customer experience and commercial director, said: "With the ongoing heatwave continuing to cause significant disruption to rail services, we are again asking our customers to only travel on Friday if their journey is essential.

"Customers holding tickets for travel can use them on any day up until next Tuesday, or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund."
