More train services to be introduced across region

The additions are part of a national twice-yearly timetable change

Additional train services will be introduced across the West Midlands.

West Midlands Railway said the changes, which come in on 15 December, are part of a national twice-yearly timetable change.

Additions include seven new trains between Birmingham and Shrewsbury throughout the week.

There are also extra trains being added between Leamington Spa and Coventry, Birmingham and Hereford, and Stafford and Crewe.

"Most changes will be the case of a few minutes either way, but those few minutes could be the difference between being on time or missing your train," said Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director at the operator.

"All the new timetables are in online journey planners, so I urge our customers to please check their travel times before heading to the station."
