Network Rail workers are on site near Oakengates undertaking emergency repairs in poor weather after a landslip closed the railway. Trains between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury have been suspended and are being covered by rail replacement buses following a landslip near Oakengates in Telford on Friday. Network Rail has been on site this week carrying out emergency repairs after around 5,000 tonnes of land slipped along a 50-metre section of the railway. Landslips quite regularly occur when the ground becomes saturated with water after long periods of heavy rain.
