A video shows the moment a group of rail passengers abandoned a train stuck in a tunnel at Birmingham New Street to finish their journey on foot.
A West Midlands Railway train from Lichfield to New Street came to a halt on Tuesday lunchtime after overhead cables became damaged by the extreme temperatures during the heatwave.
Fed-up passengers were stuck on board for over an hour before several of them decided to leave the stricken vehicle and walk along the railway line to the platform.
