There is a strike by Avanti RMT train managers [guards] that may affect services between Euston/Birmingham that weekend.
The RMT union has announced strike action on Avanti West Coast on 22 October and 6 November.
Customers should expect our timetable and operating hours to be reduced significantly, and note that services that do run are expected to be busy. We strongly advise you to check your entire journey before you travel, both once the strike timetable is confirmed and on the day itself.
To minimise the number of people disrupted while our revised timetables are finalised, we suspend sales of tickets for strike dates. Once each day's timetable is confirmed and we know which trains are running, our range of Advance and flexible fares will be back on sale.
