    West Midlands Railways announced services between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton will be reduced.

    From Friday 20th November the hourly train service between Warwickshire towns will be reduced to one train every two hours. Rail replacement transport will replace the trains which are unable to operate.

    The temporary change is due to the impact of Covid-19 amongst the train crew. This will remain in place until staff level return back to normal.

    From Fri 20th Nov, WMR is temporarily reducing the frequency of services between Leamington & Nuneaton due to Covid 19 making it difficult to provide the full TT. Alternative transport will operate where trains are not running. Check latest train info here-https://t.co/hZfDXU2uqe pic.twitter.com/xv36341FL9

    Customer experience director for West Midlands Railway, Jonny Wiseman, said:

    “Since the start of the pandemic, one in three of our staff have been unable to come into work at one time or another due to COVID-19.”

    He also added: “We thank our customers for their understanding and we look forward to reinstating a more regular train service between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton when staffing levels allow us to do so.”
