Trespass incident, apparently.

LNWR cancelled, Avanti cancelled / diverted via West Midlands.

I know, but the reasoning given on National Rail is usually pretty vague, hence asking here as it is usually more informative.

Unusual for a trespassing incident to drag on this long.
On Traksy, the "BLOK" (blocked) indications that were showing at Rugeley TV have just been removed.

1A44 has been routed towards Rugeley from Stafford, but not seen any other traffic released yet on SignalMaps

EDIT [1433]: 1A44 now passed Rugeley TV southbound (on the Up Fast), 1S01 has departed Nuneaton Northbound.

I ended up on an absolutely roasting bus yesterday for over an hour to get around the Trent Valley disruption, delay repay claimed but still one of the most unpleasant episodes of disruption I've encountered.

How long's a piece of string? ;)

Yeah, I know what you're getting at, but this disruption lasted the best part of 6 hours, which is much longer than the usual short period of trains standing still and then proceeding at caution.
