The RMT Union has announced its intention to stage strike action across the rail industry, including West Midlands Railway, on the following dates:
- Tuesday 21 June
- Thursday 23 June
- Saturday 25 June
This will have a considerable impact on the number of trains that West Midlands Railway are able to run. A very limited train service will run on the strike dates between 07:30 and 18:30 only.
Due to the knock-on impact of the strike, a very limited service will also be running on Wednesday 22 June and Friday 24 June.
The West Midlands Railway advice to customers is to only travel during this time if your journey is essential and you have no other means of transport available. If you do travel, expect severe disruption and please plan ahead.
