Between Leamington Spa / Rugby and Birmingham International

Description

All lines have now reopened following an earlier points failure at Coventry. Trains running between Leamington Spa / Rugby and Birmingham International may continue to be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 17:00.

Avanti West Coast customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, your ticket is valid on one of the two Avanti West Coast services immediately before your booked train, or one of the two immediately after.

If you no longer wish to travel because your train is delayed or cancelled, you can request a full refund from where you bought your ticket.

CrossCountry customer advice:

Your ticket can be used at no extra cost on the two CrossCountry services operating before and after your cancelled service.

If you decide to travel from a different station due to this disruption and need to return to that station later, you will also be able to use your existing ticket to do this at no extra cost

Any seat reservations will not be carried over to another train, but Coach B, H and L are unreserved coaches on CrossCountry services (where available) so please head to them.

Check before you travel:

You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
