Individuals travelling by train in Leamington are being warned of major disruption due to a rail strike this week.

Chiltern Railways has announced that none of its trains will be running between Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington on Thursday, 12 November, for the entire day.

Customers who usually use this route are being advised to travel via Dorridge, using West Midlands Railway services between Stratford-upon-Avon and Dorridge.

Tickets will be valid via Dorridge at no extra cost.

Customers should use the Chiltern App or online journey planners to check their journey details after the weekend.

The normal number of trains will run into and out of London Marylebone.

There are also already some minor timetable changes at morning and evening peak times, due to a football match taking place at Wembley Stadium in the evening.

There will be a small reduction in the overall number of services running between Leamington and Birmingham Moor Street, due to the local 'shuttle' services not running, but it is not expected to particularly impact customers at Hatton and Lapworth.
