Rail passengers are being urged to check train times, as West Midlands Railway is implementing a new timetable from Sunday.

Spokesman Richard Brooks said: “The improvements being introduced this weekend will bring a range of benefits to passengers, with more direct services to destinations across our network and improved capacity on some of our busiest services.

“To accommodate these enhancements, there will be alterations to train times, carriage formations and the platforming of some services at busier stations. Therefore, we are advising all passengers to plan ahead and to check the details of their journey. This is particularly important for those who travel regularly and are used to relying on a particular service every day.”
