West Midlands Railway confirmed that flooding was impacting services to and from Shrewsbury, Solihull and Hall Green.
There has also been flooding in the Wellington area and trains going towards Shrewsbury have been delayed or terminated at an earlier station.
Rail replacement services have been ordered between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury, West Midlands Railway said.
Flooding has also been reported on major roads in Shropshire including on areas of the M54 and the A49 near All Stretton.
Just after 7.30pm, National Highways West Midlands reported that there was one lane closed on the M54 westbound between Junction 6 for Wellington and Junction 7 for Shrewsbury due to flooding and a reduced speed limit of 30mph on the eastbound carriageway.
National Highways workers are at the scene to clear the floodwater, but delays of 45 minutes were reported on the eastbound carriageway. The lane had reopened by 8.50pm.
Around the same time, volunteers with West Mercia Search & Rescue said they had been deployed to assist with "major flooding" in Shrewsbury.
