Railtrack is carrying out the work between New Street and Kings Norton.

Buses will also replace trains between Lichfield Trent Valley and Birmingham New Street on Sunday due to similar work.

A Central Trains spokesman said: "Passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and are also reminded that bicycles cannot be carried on substitute bus services."
