Heavy rain has brought chaos to Shropshire, with trains cancelled and the M54 slowed to a crawl by flood water.

Fire crews were also called out to flood-related incidents, including a rescue from a vehicle stuck in flood water.

Videos posted on Twitter showed cars ploughing through water in Telford and crawling along on the westbound side of the M54. Warnings were issued of flooding on the railway between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton delaying trains until 10pm.
