Signals failure due to lightning strike Solihull
 

A big TS at 1400 resulted in lightning damage to signal equipment at Olton.
Chiltern trains from Marylebone to Brum, all disrupted/

A further storm is active as I type to the NW of Dorridge

I heard thunder between about 1300z to 1345z. It past to my west while
I was in Wolverhampton city centre. Heavy short showers since 1330z to
about 1830z.
