LIVE UPDATES: 'Danger to life' flood warnings remain in Shrewsbury and Ironbridge as Bridgnorth braces for more flooding

Around 40 residents in Ironbridge were urged to evacuate their homes on Monday night as it was feared the swollen river could breach the barriers in place on The Wharfage, and people were rescued from their flooded homes in Shrewsbury.

In Shrewsbury the three main shopping centres, Darwin, Pride Hill and Riverside, were closed for the safety of customers and staff.

A West Midlands Railway spokesman said that trains between Shrewsbury and Birmingham New Street would be cancelled for the rest of the day after a viaduct in Shrewsbury reached a high water mark. Train services from Shrewsbury after 2pm were cancelled.

After the last service at 1.34pm, rail operators said trains from the east would only run as far as Wellington for the rest of the day, with replacement road transport in operation.

Transport for Wales has warned that all train lines at Shrewsbury Railway Station - except those running to and from Chester and Crewe - would be closed from 2pm on Tuesday.

Tonight’s AFC Telford home match against Curzon Ashton was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Staff from the Environment Agency worked throughout Monday night as it was reported that the Severn was "absolutely heaving".
