Rail replacement buses will run to and from Leamington Spa Railway Station this weekend due to "improvement works" elsewhere in the network.

"Planned engineering work" is taking place between Coventry and Birmingham International across Saturday 30 May and Sunday 31 May and is set to have a knock-on effect in Warwickshire.

Works are causing multiple cancellations and replacements across the network in Warwickshire and the West Midlands.

The move will see the Leamington Spa to Nuneaton line - which passes through Kenilworth and Coventry - also closed due to the "essential Network Rail works".

This will mean these trains are replaced with buses.

No Cross Country trains will call at Coventry and Birmingham International over the weekend.

London Northwestern Railway services between Coventry and Birmingham New Street will run between Birmingham International and Birmingham New Street only.

There will be rail replacement buses between Rugby / Coventry and Birmingham International.

Train services between Birmingham New Street and Kings Norton (via Kings Heath) will run to an amended timetable.

Network Rail has not given precise details as to what the works will actually entail.
