UPDATE 4.38pm: It is understood that services are back to normal on the line.
RAIL services through Malvern and Ledbury are being disrupted after a hole reappeared in the line at Colwall.
The hole, near the railway station, appeared following over 12 hours of heavy rain in the area.
A hole in the track first appeared at the end of June after heavy rain, but was repaired the following day.
It reappeared in the last week of September after a month's rain fell in seven days. It caused train services to be stopped for two days.
The hole has been blamed on a broken drainage pipe which caused the ballast to be washed away.
The London Midland website says today: "Train services running through these stations may be delayed or revised at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed."
