TRAIN services are being hit by strike action again bringing disruption to passengers in Worcester.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) will walk out in a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions on Saturday (March 18).
Many operators will only run trains for limited hours.
⚠️ The RMT have announced industrial action on 16,18, 30 March and 1 April. As a result, West Midlands Railway services will operate to an amended timetable.

Those not involved in the dispute will see no major impact, but their services could be busier than normal due to timetable cuts elsewhere.
Great Western Railway trains will run between London Paddington and Bristol Parkway, Cardiff, Exeter via Bristol Temple Meads, Newbury and Oxford.
⚠️Industrial action update - Friday 17 March⚠️
