The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) have announced its intention to stage strike action across several train companies, including West Midlands Railway, on the following dates:
- Tuesday 21 June 2022
- Thursday 23 June 2022
- Saturday 25 June 2022
This will have a considerable impact on the number of trains we are able to run. We will be running a very limited service on these dates between 7.30am and 6.30pm only. Due to the knock-on impact of the strike, a very limited service will be running on Wednesday 22 June and Friday 24 June.
We are doing everything we can to keep routes with limited services running but they may be further impacted by short notice cancellations or alterations.
What services are affected?
The following routes will have a limited service in operation between 7.30am and 6.30pm on strike days:
- Cross-City Line (Lichfield Trent Valley – Redditch/Bromsgrove via Birmingham New Street) – 2 trains per hour
- Wolverhampton – Birmingham New Street – 1 train per hour
- Birmingham New Street – Birmingham International – 1 train per hour
No trains will run on any other WMR route between Tuesday 21 June and Saturday 25 June, including all routes via Birmingham Snow Hill, Birmingham-Shrewsbury, Birmingham-Worcester-Hereford and Nuneaton-Leamington Spa.
No rail replacement transport will be available. Full information and timetables are available online.
