West Midlands Railway (WMR) confirmou detalhes de seu cronograma reduzido, que estará em operação durante a próxima ação industrial planejada (w/c 20 de junho). Os serviços da WMR serão executados nessas datas, com os passageiros solicitados a viajar apenas se essencial. Para permitir que o transporte vital de carga continue, os serviços que executam funcionarão entre as 7h30 e as 18h30 nesses dias. Nos dias de hoje, os serviços começarão às 7h30 com os últimos trens mais cedo do que o normal. Sua jornada é essencial e nenhuma outra opção de transporte está disponível para eles.

Members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) have announced their intention to stage strike action on Tuesday 21 June, Thursday 23 June and Saturday 25 June.
A very limited number of WMR services will run on these dates, with passengers urged to only travel if essential. In order to allow vital freight transportation to continue, those services which do run will operate between 7.30am and 6.30pm on these days.
A significantly reduced service will also operate on Wednesday 22 June and Friday 24 June as the strike action will impact the usual operation of the railway. On these days services will commence at 7.30am with last trains earlier than usual.
Jonny Wiseman, WMR customer experience director, said:
“It is very disappointing that this planned strike action by the RMT is set to cause significant disruption to our passengers.
“We will be operating a very limited service all through the week and we are asking customers to only travel with us if their journey is essential and no other transport option is available to them.
“Passengers holding tickets or season tickets will be entitled to refunds and should visit our website for information.”
The following routes will have a limited service in operation between 7.30am and 6.30pm on strike days:
- Cross-City Line (Lichfield Trent Valley – Redditch/Bromsgrove via Birmingham New Street) – 2 trains per hour
- Wolverhampton – Birmingham – 1 train per hour
- Birmingham New Street – Birmingham International – 1 train per hour
No trains will run on any other WMR route, including all routes via Birmingham Snow Hill, Birmingham-Shrewsbury, Birmingham-Worcester-Hereford and Nuneaton-Leamington Spa. Para mais informações, os passageiros devem visitar www.wmr.uk/industrialAction
