West Midlands Railway (WMR) has urged passengers to plan ahead as two days of industrial action are set to affect services across the network this week.

No trains will run on the Nuneaton to Leamington Spa line - through Kenilworth - on Friday, July 31, and Saturday, August 1, due to strike action by members of the TSSA trade union.

Other routes will have a limited service.

Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director at WMR, said: "It is disappointing that TSSA has called further strike action which is set to disrupt travel for our customers.

"We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and urge TSSA to continue talks so we can reach a resolution to this dispute.

"If the strike action does go ahead, we will be running a reduced timetable on both dates.

"Customers are advised to check before they travel by visiting journey planners and our website."

WMR has also warned that some disruption may continue into the morning of Sunday, August 2, due to the displacement of trains.

but it is not just strike days the service is cancelled, often during the week the service is reduced to 2 hourly or cancelled altogether. Or its cancelled altogether in the afternoon having got you where you want to go and then your stranded and have to walk back.
The station franchise went bankrupt due to the lack of trains and its unreliability.

It needs the MP and the County Council (who assistant in the opening of the stion) to get involved to get the service improved or close it, No point in having a station that goes nowhere! I will not travel from Kenilworth as i do not know if i will get back!
