Train strikes: Which services across the Midlands will be affected this week?

Train passengers across the Midlands will be affected by further rail strikes this week.

Drivers who are members of the Aslef union will walk out on Wednesday and Saturday, and rail workers who are members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) will be walking out on Friday.

There won't be any Chiltern Railway trains on Wednesday or Saturday, and just one train an hour on Friday's between London Marylebone and the West Midlands. The operator also says there won't be trains running between Banbury and Birmingham and Stourbridge.
