West Midlands Railway warns passengers not to travel on Saturday due to strike action

Tuesday, 22 November 2022

West Midlands Railway (WMR) is advising passengers not to attempt to travel this Saturday due to planned industrial action.

There will be no service on any WMR route on Saturday 26 November due to action by members of train drivers’ union ASLEF. Passengers needing to travel are advised to make alternative arrangements.

There may also be amendments to late services on the evening of Friday 25 November and early services on the morning of Sunday 27 November due to the action.

Jonny Wiseman, WMR customer experience director, said:

“It is disappointing that once again our customers’ travel plans will be impacted as a result of this industrial action.

“We will not be running any trains on Saturday 26 November so passengers should not attempt to travel with us and will need to make alternative arrangements.

“Any passengers holding tickets for travel on Saturday can use them on an alternative day or receive a full refund.”
