Trains to Kenilworth will be cancelled on Wednesday and Sunday this week as more strikes have been announced.

Industrial action has been announced for Wednesday 27 July and Saturday 30 July with 40,000 workers at Network Rail and more than a dozen train companies set to walk out.

West Midlands Railway has confirmed that it will run "a very limited service" on Wednesday with no trains running at all on the Nuneaton to Leamington Spa line which serves Kenilworth.

On Saturday, WMR will not run any trains at all on any of its lines.

People attending Commonwealth Games events in Birmingham will therefore need to find alternative modes of travel.

Jonny Wiseman, WMR customer experience director, said: "It is very disappointing that these planned strikes are set to cause significant disruption to our customers.

"On both affected dates customers should only travel if their journey is essential and they have no means of transport available to them.

"On Saturday 30 July, the extent of the strike action means there will be no West Midlands Railway services at all and customers with essential reasons to travel will need to use alternative modes of transport.

"People holding advance tickets for travel on the affected dates can use them on alternative dates or return them to their point of purchase for a refund."

Some minor disruption to services on the morning of Thursday 28 July is expected due to displacement of trains.
