With West Midlands Trains having strikes every Saturday for the rest of the year (from November 16th) does anyone know what will be the revised timetable, specifically on the West Midlands Railway Hereford to Birmingham route?
The reason I ask this is because I have an advance single from Great Malvern to London Euston on Saturday 7th December for travel on the 06:17 to Birmingham New Street then the 07:30 Virgin Trains service to Euston.
If services start later because of the strike and this service no longer runs I will buy a new ticket for travel to Paddington on GWR so that I can still carry on with the rest of my trip that day as planned (09:40 from Euston to Crewe) but I would like to know that if this is the case will I be able to get a refund on the original ticket as I brought it well before the strikes were announced.
Also returning in the evening I have an advanced single from London Euston to Birmingham New Street 18:43 Virgin Trains service and then an off-peak single to Great Malvern (20:50 service), as I specifically want to go the WCML route returning what situation will I be in if services from Birmingham to Malvern finish before this due to the strikes as I brought the ticket at the same time as the other ones for this trip before the strikes were announced.
