Must admit though, the couple of times I've travelled, they have been relatively quiet so maybe a 1tp2h won't be an issue for social distancing etc.


Train services between between Nuneaton, Coventry and Leamington are to be cut as Covid-19 has hit staffing levels.

As of tomorrow (November 20) the weekday services between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton, which calls in at Coventry, is being cut to one train an hour, instead of two.


West Midlands Railway bosses say the enforced temporary change has been made following an increase in the number of train crew unable to work due to the impact of Covid-19.

The one-hourly service will remain until staff levels 'stabilise'.


Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director for West Midlands Railway, 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.

“We know how important it is to run a reliable service, which is why we are taking this step now, rather than attempting to run the timetable without enough train crew, potentially leading to unwanted late-notice cancellations.


“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.”

I do not understand the press report in the Coventry Telegraph, as there has only ever been 1 train per hour between Nuneaton and Leamington Spa and a quick check on Real Time Trains for tomorrow shows the service running hourly as normal.

Fairly common though for the Coventry Telegraph to get the news wrong....

Been on the cards for a few weeks. Lack of drivers as per usual.

Frequency will be cut in half Monday to Friday and will likely be extended past this Thursday.
