West Midlands Railway warns passengers not to travel on two days in February due to industrial action

Passengers travelling with West Midlands Railway (WMR) are being warned not to travel on two days in February due to industrial action.

Members of the ASLEF union have announced their intention to stage industrial action on Wednesday 1 February and Friday 3 February. No WMR services will run on any route on these days as a result.

Early morning or late night services on Tuesday 31 January, Thursday 2 February and Saturday 4 February may also be impacted. Passengers are urged to check timetables before they travel.

Jonny Wiseman, WMR customer experience director, said: “It is disappointing that our passengers’ journeys continue to be affected by industrial action. There will be no service on any WMR route on Wednesday 1 February and Friday 3 February and passengers should not travel by train on these dates.

“Passengers should also check their journeys on the dates either side of the strike days as there may be a knock-on effect to early morning and late night trains.

“Anyone holding a ticket for travel on a strike day can use their ticket on a different day or claim a full refund.”
