Good morning, and welcome to our final traffic and travel blog of the week.

The weather hasn't quite matched the sunny starts of previous days this week, but it should shape up to be a decent, if not sunny day.

But more importantly, we are just hours away from the weekend.

And to help get us there, we'll be bringing you all of the latest traffic and travel news this morning.

So if it's a traffic jam or a train delay, we've got you covered with all the details, as soon as we get them.

There are problems with trains between Coventry and Birmingham due to signalling issues.

We'll also be bringing you the big news stories from across the region, too - all right here in one place.

If you're out and about and have seen something we should know about please get in touch with us.

You can make contact by email at news@coventrytelegraph.net or tweet us @live_coventry.
