Passengers are being urged to check their journeys as the latest industrial action on the railways takes place.

Members of the RMT union will walkout today (27th July) in a move that will see major disruption to services, including trains finishing much earlier than usual on the Cross City Line.

As a result, people are once again being advised to only travel by rail if necessary.

Denise Wetton, Network Rail’s Central route director, said:

> “It’s hugely disappointing that we are facing another day of RMT strike action which will impact the entire network and cause disruption to passengers across the region.  
>  
> “Our advice is to only travel if necessary and regularly check [National Rail Enquiries](http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) as the few services which will be running will finish early in the afternoon.”

Passengers can also visit train websites for more information on cancellations and ticket information:

- [Avanti West Coast](https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/travel-information/plan-your-journey/strike?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)
- [West Midlands Railways](https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/travel-information/journey-planning/service-disruption/industrial-action?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)
- [London Northwestern Railway](https://www.londonnorthwesternrailway.co.uk/travel-information/journey-planning/service-disruptions/industrial-action?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk)

Passengers are also being told to expect disruption on Thursday morning with a later start to services as employees return to duties.

Disruption is also expected on 30th July when train drivers’ union Aslef will stage a walk out.
