What you need to do  

Please plan your journey before travelling and allow extra time as other forms of public transport may be busier than usual.  

We also recommend you check your train journey before you travel on the National Rail journey planner for live information and updates. Some timetables are not amended until closer to the date of travel.  

You can also check directly on the West Midlands Railway website or their Twitter/X account for live updates.
