Rail strikes Strike action is taking place on West Midlands
Railway and London Northwestern Railway during November and
December.
You can still get to where you need to go but you will need to
check your journey before you travel.
Key advice:
• Plan ahead: Strike day timetables will be made available a few
days before a strike day but could change last minute. Plan your
journey based on current information but remember to check it again
before you travel by using nationalrail.co.uk or by checking with
your train operator.
• Leave more time for journeys: Other train companies are due to
run a normal Saturday service but will be busier than usual. Don’t
aim for the last train home, get to the station early and expect to
queue.
• Stick to public transport: The West Midlands Metro and West
Midlands bus networks are a good alternative to train if you are
travelling between Wolverhampton and Birmingham and making local
journeys.
• If you’re planning to go Christmas shopping or visit the
Christmas Market consider travelling into centres earlier and
leaving earlier. The busiest time to travel around the West
Midlands will be between 15:00-16:00.
Travelling between Birmingham and Wolverhampton?
The Metro is accepting West Midlands Railway and London
Northwestern Railway train tickets on a strike day.
