Upcoming Rail Strike
As you may have heard there is an upcoming Strike on West Midlands Railway and London North Western rail services
Industrial action, also known as a ‘strike’ is due to take place on West Midlands Railway and London North Western rail services, on the following dates:
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 16th November
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 23rd November
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 30th November
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 7th December
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 14th December
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 21st December
• 00.01 hours until 23.59 hours on Saturday 28th December
This is because of a dispute between West Midlands Railway and the National Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union over the role of the Guard.
We are working with train and bus companies in the West Midlands, and with our Metro team, to understand how we can keep people moving while West Midlands Railway and London North Western run reduced services during a strike day.
