The railway between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury has fully reopened to passenger trains after engineers completed emergency repairs to a railway embankment after a landslip.
Network Rail is thanking passengers for their patience after three weeks of disruption following a landslip between Oakengates and Wellington stations on March 8.
New time-lapse video footage shows the scale of work by Network Rail and its contractor Murphy to rebuild the embankment so that trains can safely resume.
