People are advised to check routes before setting out this morning as floods have made many roads in the Stratford district impassable, and rail services have been suspended to and from Birmingham.
In addition the A46 is closed in both directions near to the Longbridge roundabout due to a crash. Long tailbacks have been reported in the area. There are also queues in Henley, with the A3400 from Stratford flooded, with many vehicles stranded. The A46 to Alcester is also reported as challenging.

Heavy rain flooding the railway between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford means some lines are currently closed. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
The Met Office has put a yellow weather warning in place and said: “Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, overnight and at first on Monday morning. A further 15-25 mm rain in places, combined with some thaw of lying snow, may lead to some flooding and travel disruption in places. A short period of sleet and snow will affect some areas as the rain clears.”
In Stratford the rain is due to ease this morning, but flooding will remain challenging.
