Train services in Kenilworth are set to be hit by a two day strike this weekend.

On Friday 22 May and Saturday 23 May there will be a very limited service in operation on the WMR network due to strike action by members of the TSSA trade union.

No services will run through Kenilworth on the Nuneaton and Leamington Spa line.

No trains will run on any other WMR route, including all routes via Birmingham Snow Hill, the Camp Hill Line, Shrewsbury Line and Hereford Line.

Routes with a limited service on Friday 22 May and Saturday 23 May include:

Cross City Line (Lichfield Trent Valley – Redditch / Bromsgrove via Birmingham New Street) – two trains per hour
Wolverhampton – Walsall via Birmingham New Street – one train per hour
Rugeley Trent Valley – Birmingham International via Birmingham New Street – one train per hour

Journey planners are not yet updated but are set be updated in advance of the action taking place.
