Industrial action to disrupt bank holiday rail travel

Rail passengers in parts of the West Midlands are advised to only travel if necessary later this week during two days of planned strikes.

The walkout will affect West Midlands Railway's (WMR) services in Birmingham and the Black Country, Wolverhampton, Warwickshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire on Friday and Saturday.

The operator said "a very limited service" would be running because of the action, which has been organised by members of the TSAA trade union.
