==Overview==
==Overview==
Good afternoon West Midlands signallers, this is your update from Network Rail regional control at 1400 hours. We currently have a [[SimSig:Disruption Management#Code Yellow|Code Yellow]] declared across all West Midlands routes due to a number of earlier incidents in the Birmingham area. Some residual delay may occur for up to a further 60 minutes.
''To follow.''
 
===All Areas===
Due to an unusually high number of failures today, Region Control have requested the availability of additional engineering resource. 1Q25, the Network Rail New Measurement Train, is at Birmingham International awaiting its booked departure time of 1421. 2Q08, Network Rail's Track Recording Unit, is also out and about in the region today.  
 
===Aston===
{{Alert level big
| code = yellow
| info = Disruption due to an earlier points failure in the Aston area.
}}
There remains some residual delay to Cross City services due to multiple earlier problems in the Aston area. Rail replacement buses, however, have now been withdrawn.
*A 6-car set of class 323 units is stabled additionally in Lichfield sidings. These units require moving to Soho depot prior to the evening peak, so that they can pick up their booked working.
*5Z64 is currently running additionally, empty, to Four Oaks, to start 2R41 there right time.
 
The ARS system at Aston has been giving intermittent issues this morning. Signallers are requested to not use ARS in consequence.
 
The block instruments between Alrewas and Lichfield Trent Valley has been signed out of use; signallers are requested to be extra vigilant of trains passing through this area.
 
There are intermittent issues with the Train Describer between Aston and Derby. Signallers are requested to obtain verbal confirmation of trains passing over the fringe.
{{-}}
 
===Birmingham New Street===
{{Alert level big
| code = yellow
| info = Disruption due to an earlier points failure in the Aston area; disruption due to a signal failure in the Soho area.
}}
There are a number of failures currently affecting services in the New Street area, with a small level of delay occurring as a result.
 
A track circuit failure is delaying trains in the Dudley Port area. 2W30 has been given authorisation through the area already.
 
There are lamps out on signal NS451 in the New Street area - no red or green aspects are available. There is currently no estimated time for a fix. This is primarily affecting Cross City services towards Lichfield; CrossCountry and currently investigating diverting their services via Landor Street.
 
All hot spare trains are in place and available for use if required.
{{-}}
 
===Saltley===
{{Alert level big
| code = yellow
| info = Disruption due to congestion in the Birmingham New Street area; disruption due to congestion in the Tyseley area.
}}
Owing to earlier congestion, there are a number of freight services off booked path. Priority should be given to late running services as appropriate, particularly in recognition of the TSRs in the area.
 
At Selly Oak, the Down starting signal, 52, has '''only''' a green aspect available. CrossCountry control are investigating diverting their services via Camp Hill, however there is no confirmation at this time due to further issues in the New Street area.
 
There are two Temporary Speed Restrictions (TSRs) in force today. The Up and Down Fast at Water Orton is subject to a 10mph TSR. The Up Slow at Whitacre Junction is subject to a 10mph TSR.
