Train travellers face further disruption this weekend as Avanti West Coast managers stage a fresh strike over rest-day working. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) will walk out on Sunday, significantly impacting services on one of the UK’s busiest rail routes.

The industrial action coincides with planned engineering work, compounding the travel challenges. No trains will operate between Rugby and Stafford via Nuneaton on Saturday and Sunday, forcing some Avanti West Coast services to be diverted and resulting in extended journey times. Replacement buses will operate between Coventry and Nuneaton.
