RAIL passengers travelling between the county and the West Midlands are being warned of major alterations to services next week.

Chiltern Railways trains will not run north of Warwick Parkway from Saturday until Monday, February 18, due to resignalling and track renewal work south of Birmingham.

Passengers are advised to use Arriva CrossCountry trains via Coventry to travel to and from Birmingham throughout the work. Buses will link Leamington Spa with Warwick, Dorridge and Solihull.

Chiltern services south of Banbury will run to a normal timetable from Monday, until Friday, February 15, while a slightly reduced service will operate both weekends.
