Key travel advice

The West Midlands remains open for business: You can still get to where you need to go but you will need to check before you travel and leave more time:
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 National Rail Enquiries 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 there early and expect to queue.
Stick to public transport: Other train operating companies are due to run as planned and the West Midlands Metro and West Midlands bus networks are a good alternative to the train if you are travelling between Wolverhampton and Birmingham or making local journeys.
