Leamington and Warwick rail passengers will face disruption during the strikes in April

Rail passengers have been warned to only travel if essential on scheduled rail worker strike days next month.

Striking by rail unions ASLEF and RMT will cause severe disruption to Chiltern Railways, West Midland Railway and CrossCountry services on several days in April.

Due to an overtime ban, ASLEF will strike on Thursday April 4 and Friday 5, resulting in reduced service across most of the network and no services north of Birmingham.
