Seems that the WCML is now blocked again:
From Twitter
Landslips caused by heavy rainfall or floodwater have blocked the West Coast Main Line between Carlisle and Lancaster. @VirginTrains @FirstTPExpress are affected, and some trains are at a stand and unable to proceed due to the blockage.
From Network Rail
Flooding is causing disruption at Barnt Green.
Because of this, there are delays of up to 60 minutes between Birmingham New Street and Bromsgrove / Redditch. These delays will continue until further notice
Flooding is causing disruption at Rowley Regis.
Because of this, there are delays of up to 45 minutes between Rowley Regis and Stourbridge Junction. These delays will continue until further notice.
Some examples of the hail etc from Leicestershire
